Hello forum, I have this capture problem, maybe someone can help. I try to capture some clips from my VHS video and from my camcorder. In both cases I get some nasty lines at the bottom of the screen. Why is this happening? Is it my geForce 5700 LE? Is it some kind of setting, I need to adjust? Or is my whole system just possessed? I tried nearly everything and I don't even know why is this happening... Any help would be much appreciated... Thanks G-Mashroom
Hi and thanks for the reply... I dont think its an interlacing problem because then I would have a problem in the whole picture. Now its just the bottom 50 pixels aprox. As for aspect, I tried with several different frame sizes and the problem persists... Is it possible that I have a faulty capturing card? Thanks again G-Mashroom
i encounter the same problem in capturing. i don`t thing that is of any matter of what programm are used to see the captured clip. maybe any kind of setting between ntsc and pal in the registry? i am sure thats not a problematic vcr but whats happened (multiple vcr`s and cables tested)?
I think its the video card. I get the same thing at top of screen no matter what video capture softwar i use. XFX FX5900 VIVO. Some capture programs like nero OEM with updates allow you to crop picture this done the trick for me. Good Luck Spacedust
i mean it too. but it`s a hell of a job to do the same twice. i always cropped the captures in premiere pro7. but it`s not the original view area
Hi everybody and thanks for the replies... I've uploaded a screenshot of the problem, so you can take a look. The address is http://www.mavri-magioneza.com/capture_problem.jpg Just look at the bottom of the picture. Maybe this rings any bells to someone. Anyway I don't think croping the picture would be a good solution (unless its the only one). After all we do need to capture all the frame, don't we? Thanks again g-mashroom
Your whole system is possessed! <grin> This is what happens when copying an analog source to a digital one. Because the tape goes across the head in the VCR, and it's scanned at x frames per second, anything on the tape that doesn't have a video signal (that is blank, or contains the audio signal) shows up as noise. There's one way around it that I know of, but you're not going to like it. The Canopus ADVC-100 or some other good Time Base Corrector hardware.
Thanks rebootjim, at least now I know where the prob is... Well a man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do, right? Cheers g-mashroom
