Okay, if other stuff doesn't work, I'll try taking a closer look at
the code and see if I can figure out how to tweak stuff. I can code,
for sure, but video/image processing algorithms often goes over my

Hm, just had a thought... I'm in NTSC-land (Canada). Could the
difference in resolution from PAL be a factor here?

I'll look into doing this if I can't make progress on my own.

Ah, excellent idea. I'll give that a try. I must have been tired last
night; it didn't occur to me to try that.
