TV picture is Black and White?

[spylvas]

I using g400 dualhead via composite to VCR. It use to work well, but not any more. The picture is black and white!!!.

I have win98 and PD5.41.008, bios is 1.04.
TV-system is PAL...

No, there isn't check in black and white checkbox.....

Stupid question, but what have you changed since you last used it successfully ?

Also, are you using the PC-VCR "output to TV line" checkbox or relying on all MJPEG being automatically redirected to TV-O ?

Stupid question, too, but I have poor experience with the Matrox MJPEG codec causing B/W records & captures. Maybe I'm wrong to suspect the codec.
Using composite out to TV via the VCR works fine for me, but i've seen two destroyed VCR-TV tuners by the Asus V3800 composite output via the VCR. Tha Marvel works well.
Sometimes it's not easy to remind what one has changed before hardware malfunktioning.

Not a stupid Q! One of the BB's has the same problem... it's being addressed.

Hi Spylvas,

if your VCR supports Y/C in (S-VHS connector), make sure you have the input configured to use FBAS (composite), because the FBAS line carries the luminance (Y) signal when used in Y/C mode ...
