[AG-TECH] Osprey 400 Video capture

[Matthew Rendell]

We found this problem was caused by not having the camera image size set 
in your video capture settings (usually can be set through VIDCAP in 
WinXP or your camera software, can be found in the "system 32" folder I 
believe) not being set to the correct CIF size.

NTSC CIF  (which is 30 frames/sec) has a field resolution of 352 x 240
PAL CIF , (which is 25 frames/sec) has a higher 352 x 288 resolution.

This is an issue we have here in Australia as usually most cams default 
to NTSC

It just seems a bit backwards that if you are in NTSC that you would 
have a grey border around your image, but try one of these video sizes..

Hope that helps ya out

Cheers
