I regularly rip video through my firewire port... sorry to say, I still haven't been able to figure out how to avoid that effect with fast motion... really sucks... I've tried demo versions of every program there is, and it still shows up.. Personally, I think it is a limitation of current technology.... or my ignorance. if you figure it out, please share with me. I've got about a dozen DV tape home movies I'd love to re-rip.

I think its coz of the a/v imput and not S-Video but whatever. My next question is how do i use TV-Out ? I have a TON of duckman(funniest.....show....EVAR) episodes i'd liek to see on the bigger screen.

Err, they look interlaced, because they are! Standard TV transmission/Video/DVD/miniDV are interlaced. Only progressive scan TV/DVD are non-interlaced. Any analog video capture card will capture in interlaced - that's because that's all analog currently supports. For digital connections (such as firewire), the source material needs to be in progressive scan mode as well. SteveI - check to see if your camcorder can record processive. If not, then you're stuck with interlace. Áedán

![]() TV-Out? Typically, this is set in the drivers. You need to have the output device actually connected to the card before you can set it up. If you're playing stuff like video, you may well be able to set the second monitor to display the video stream fullscreen. Áedán

I have a bad feeling my corder won't have the feature... ![]() It's a sony TRV 17.

Hmm.. The TRV17 is supposed to have a progressive shutter system. From what I understand, this is not the same as progressive scan. Apparently camcorder manufacturers had problems with people not understanding what progressive scan was. Hence, they left it as a feature on the higher end camcorders. One page that seems to be pretty good in this area (explains interlace, how deinterlacing can be achieved etc) is 100fps. Take a look, as you might be able to do something with your interlaced video. On the other hand, if it's only going to be shown on a TV, you don't need to worry about deinterlacing. ![]() Áedán

Thanks again Aedan, I'll have to take another look at that link when I have time. With my sony... I used to rip to divx and save to CDs for viewing on my PC's.... But now, I've invested in a sony DVD burner. I tried calling sony's tech support, and asked what was wrong with my DVD burner ![]() ![]() Edit: CaesaR, sorry for hijacking your thread.. but Aedan's link may help you with your videos too. ![]()

Programs have to be very careful to keep the field order correct. One or two capture cards have been known for getting to the order wrong. When you play back video that's had it's even and odd fields swapped, it looks disturbingly odd. Can you tell I've had a few negative experiences here? ![]() Áedán

Áedán - Have you messed with TV Tuners at all? I need to find proper drivers and a runtime program for mine that works under WinXP.. ![]() CaesaR - I think that the SVideo is worth it. I use it for my PS2 on my Sony Wega TV, and on my TV Tuner card (SVideo in port).. Looks better then Yellow video, IMO ![]() |

S-Video will give you a clearer picture with less colour smearing. However, if your problem is the interlace, S-Video won't help at all. I'll knock up an SVideo lead for my GC later and try and take some screenshots both ways. ![]() Personally, I prefer RGB, but it's hard to find a video capture card that works in RGB. ![]() Áedán

As far as Composite, S-Video and RGB goes, the preference is in that order. Of course, being European, my TV has a SCART socket that'll accept all three. ![]() Áedán

The two comparison images, Composite Vs SVideo can be found here: http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/showt...&postid=170362 This illustrates the difference between the quality of Composite and the quality of SVideo. Áedán
