Cap Card Thread

So I can use windows movie maker to capture straight to a video file..
The file size is extremely low but my video editor can't do ratios for shit.
In Theory, VirtualDub can De-Interlace and Re-size videos.
If I switch up the file type to work in VirtualDub there may be hope yet.
Probably a bit of quality loss coming but if it works It would be better than nothing.
I'll post results if I have any

download a trial of pinnacle. you have a free 30 days. literally one of the cheapest and easiest to use because of unlimited tracks(ultimate version 89 bucks right now actually $120+) The deal for ultimate comes with 2 pplugins worth over 100 bucks each apprently.....which I doubt for some reason. But either or. There is a solution....for 30 days.

Havent messed with that pinnacle much might be one of my only options though.
Bit off topic but what do you make your hip hop days in saunders, just a video editor?

[Antwan]

Well, I can't figure out what the issue is..
Could be my connection from the device, the TV, The Laptop
all three?
This is a little better but not what I'm used to getting.
Advice with Pinnacle?
I used all HD settings, MPEG2. Still kinda hard to look at

HipHop days are recorded with my video camera and edited inside Pinaccle, actually im using AVID which is the exact same thing just a different name.

I record in 1080i so I always have to De-interlace and render at 1080p or 720p .

what kind of connection are you using.....component cables.....composites.....(red blue green or red white yellow) Svideo???

or what exactly is your connection...to capture?

[Antwan]

Right on.
Well, I settled for the quality there.
Now Pinnacle is randomly fast forwarding every time I capture.
Nothing fancy though
Red white yellow, female splitters and the s-video.
Every time I think I've got something going it fucks up haha
I hate these machines.

You wont be able to render HD using composite cables and get good quality, creates artifacts and blahblahblah.....keep it SD and your quality should become a lot cleaner and easier to look at. If that doesnt make any sense.....Ill have to get a lil more detailed I guess.
