KWorld VS-USB2800D ...




Greetings ...

 Been lurking on the list for about two weeks and hoping that maybe
somebody can help me ...

 I have a KWorld USB Capture device marked VS-USB2800D.  I'm hoping to
use it along with a few other capture devices to test ZoneMinder and
do a few other video capture things ...

 I'm running Fedora 8 64bit with Kernel 2.6.24.5-85.fc8 ...

 When I plug in the device I get ...

 If you see two lines from the bottom, it lists the device as a MSI
VOX USB 2.0 ... I would think this device is a KWorld USB2800, but I'm
able to capture with default settings, but not full frame ...  It
seems that I can only capture 640 of 768 and 480 of 576, which means
part of the image is missing ... If anybody was samples to explain
better, I sure I can send them some ...

If I modprobe -r em28xx and force as KWorld USB2800 with modprobe
em28xx i2c_scan=1 card=8 ...

But then the captures are all current with just black and white fuzzy lines ...

Is there a bug with the kernel driver or is this a short coming of the
capture device?

What are suggested good USB video capture devices with S-Video/
Composite and build-in audio, not pass-through ... Maybe something
like" HAUPPAUGE WinTV-PVR USB 2.0 External Video Capture Card", but
cheaper ...

Thanks

P.S. Not sure if the following with help any, if not, sorry for the
extra noise ...
