Alright, I got my hands on a Pinnacle PCTV because of its S-Video input...but when I got it working I was WAY less than thrilled at the quality of capture....that was 6 months ago, I was busy in college and I simply put that card aside in for "old-faithful"-my WinTV card. Well I have some free time and I know I have seen others on this forum say they have the PCTV working wonderfully-well, that is what I want. Here are the histograms of my two cards:





As you can see, the histogram for the pctv is quite funky...any pctv users or other histogram gurus care to help me out with normalizing it? Thanks in advance...
