Got it to work finally.
on the mega I have a cap 4.7 uf between reset and ground... it seems every time I want to flash the pro mini I have to burn the boot loader.

as far as the code on the 2560 I left the delay at 20 and the baud at 19200 as mention in a earlier response.

Thanks for all the help...

Thinking of getting a FTDI USB controller instead. is this any easier to use to program the Mini Pro.
I found one on eBay for 10.99 http://www.ebay.com/itm/FTDI-USB-Controller-5V-3-3V-Firmware-Loader-and-Programmer-Arduino-FREE-SHIPPING-/320969539027?

Please let me know if this is an easier route.

So I downloaded the sketch from http://code.google.com/p/mega-isp/

Changed the heartbeat delay from 40 to 20, still got the same response, tried to add the cap on the mega 2560 between Ground and reset... tried 0.1 uf and 10uf per another forums suggestion. I am still having the same issue.

I've tried changing the baud rate in the ArduinoISP sketch to 19200 per instructable blog

I get a message about expected signature.

I have tried this on two different Mega's 2560 and 3 different Pro Mini's
I have change/verified the wiring to match that of the ArduinoISP sketch.

I really do appreciate the help. I am tempted to give this a break for a while.

Do I need a sketch uploaded on the Mega 2560 to use it as a ISP?

I think it might be a firewall issue. I will keep you guys posted

I am programming the Pro Mini, I've tried changing to Tools>Board>Arduino Pro or Pro Mini
now I get the error "avrdude stk500_getsync() not in sync resp=0x00"

so I am having some issues... I think...
reading online I got the pin outs... Not sure if it is right

I do not get any error when it's done uploading but it doesn't seem to output what I want.

the wiring is below
[2560]---[mini pro]
[5v]-----[VCC]
[GND]---[GND]
[30]-----[reset]
[50]-----[12] MISO
[51]-----[11] MOSI
[52]-----[13] SCK

as far as the IDE
Version 1.0
have the Tools -> Board -> "Arduino Mega 2560 or Mega ADK" checked
have the Tools -> Programmer -> "Arduino as ISP" checked

Tried the code on the mega 2560 and worked fine

Also want to double check the PWM pins for the mini pro are 5,6,9,10, and 11

The code is based off http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Fading
 

Thanks for the replies.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could use instead to record a video feed and output that same video to a monitor.

Another question.... I don't think the Arduino would be the right choice for this.... but can you use in to make a wireless extender for NTSC or PAL signal.

I know arduino is able to output the NTSC or PAL signal, I've played around with the TVout library.
I am wondering if arduino is up to the challenge to record the signal coming in onto a SD card.

I have a project where I need to record a video feed as well as connect the feed to a monitor.

Can someone point me in the right direction on how I can accomplish this.

Thanks

Ya, this is what the company sent to me for this driver.

I still haven't had a chance to look at any of the files, I might do so this weekend and see if there is anything useful.

So here is the file I received.

I'm still working on this
I got a PID.rar file from the company I bought it from but wont have a chance to look at it right away. I will see if I can attach it later tonight so you guys can have a look at it.
It's suppose to have some code written in c.

I know with car stereos if you are getting noise through the speakers you can put a cap in parallel from the battery to the amp, I have read you can also use a Ferrite bead or choke to help eliminate noise.

This is only a suggestion.. not sure if it helps.

that should help, now to find the signal output of the CT and VT.
