Re: [Toon-members] VideoBuffer.get_frame() returns VideoFrame of different size to the VideoBuffer

[Gerhard Reitmayr]

hi,

it definitely sounds like a problem of a specific implementation of 
VideoBuffer. There are many different ones and they may behave quite 
differently. Clearly that one should be fixed. it sounds like its 
cvd_src/Linux/dvbuffer3_dc1394v2.cc 

a quick check didn't show any obvious mistakes, but I don't have hardware here 
to test it...

cheers,
  Gerhard
