    On my TV Tuner (Which I run my my Dreamcast through and use to capture footage from my Camcorder) there is an option called Overlay Mode... What does this do?

    What you hav'nt tryed it ? I would think its to do with full screen mode if you have the card and drivers that support it. Try it, and come back and post.


    Edit: Its for watching tv on your monitor . Hence the full screen mode .

    Huh?

    How can Overlay mode be used for watching TV? All it seems to do is saturate the image more.

    Video overlay


    One screen running on top of another.

    So if it's settings for your tv, disable video overlay.
    In addition video adapters can be digital whereas regular monitors are often analog, making it have to filter more of the signal when displaying two stacked screens or something.

    If it screws up the picture, you ought to turn it on again.

    Sometimes, when the picture is bad, on certain adapters it doesn't matter whether you shut it off, or turn it on, just altering it can improve your picture quality if it suddenly goes bad.

    But what does running two images on each other achieve?
