PAL format is 576 lines (approximately) visible at 25 fps. It's a
continuous analog signal, so there is no horizontal resolution per se,
but because of band limiting it's probably sufficient to capture at
720x576.

No, I wasn't even in a bad mood; I just misunderstood you. I'm very 
sorry for jumping to conclusions. I was too defensive. I read your 
response several times, but I still got the wrong idea. I'll be more 
careful next time. We really need the <sarcasm> tag; there just aren't 
enough clues in prose to infer the tone of the speaker. Please forgive 
me for jumping to conclusions.

It reminds me of a Simpsons episode in which Homer is angry at his boss 
and dictates a nasty letter in a sarcastic tone. When read in a normal 
tone, however, the letter sounds perfectly amicable except for one last 
sentence, which was composed by Bart. I'm sure the Simpsons fans will 
remember the episode.

By the way, did you mean that there are websites with just subtitles in 
easy usable formats? That would be convenient.

Yep. Someone posted a rather thorough list of such sites a few days
ago. The one I'm familiar with is dvd.box.sk.

no image from tv in

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
Only a green background is displayed - no image only some disturbance at the top
few lines in a small window.
Capture works for xawtv and mplayer does play mpg files.
Some suggestions please.

Thanks,
Chitta

DVD and RAM bug?

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
Hi

System specs:
Geforce2 mx 400
512MB DDR
RH 9
nvidia driver 4363
kernel 2.4.20
gcc 3.2.2
Mplayer 0.90

Problem:
When playing DVD the free RAM is decreasing until it is all used up.  Is 
this normal?  It starts off about 30% in use and then reaches 100% in use.

This is perfectly normal; you just don't understand how unix works. If
you look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line in the output of free, you'll
see that it doesn't change significantly. The system is just caching
the contents of the DVD as it's read, and that cache memory will be
freed and made available for other stuff later if it's needed.
