hi frank,

I'm going to have to take some high quality screenshots of Playstation2 etc. games for a print magazine. The Windows users recommended the DScaler software for this (http://www.dscaler.org) but as I don't run Windows I thought, well, pdp/pidip should be able to do this as well, shouldn't it? If not, DScaler is GPL-software, so it might be possible to write PDP externals, wouldn't it?

there's no de-interlace atm. i've added it to my TODO list again.

for scaling you can use pdp_scale, but doing this on an interlaced image might not do what you want though. the scaler is a simple bilinear interpolation.

I'm actually just learning pdp. I only have a RF-input in my tv-card, no S-Video, would this be sufficient for getting enough quality?

if you got a decent card and cable, RF is quite ok, but S-Video is better of course.

cheers

Maybe the postproc library from mplayer could be integrated to pdp.

There's good television applications for Gnu/Linux, with deinterlacing: http://tvtime.sourceforge.net/ http://xawdecode.sourceforge.net/

S-video is necessary for decent screenshots.
