If its the single chip card then you will have to keep the sizes UNDER 320 x 240, it just cannot cope with huge sizes for more than one camera.

On each bt878 device, all of its inputs must match size and palette. It is unable to change on the fly that quickly. bt878 supports up to 640x480 which is interlaced of coarse.

Ahhh now thats interesting... I never thought to do them ALL.. just tried 352 x 288 on all cameras and its working... I am going to try going up again to 384 x 288 and if that works I may try 640 x 480

Now dont show off :D can you tell me how much memory your pc has installed? I am thinking I may be low on memory.. I use the pico2000 1 chip 4 input pci card and I am unable to get that resolution.

Cheers, TrOjAn
