In terms of settings in VirtualDub, refer back to post #11
Quote:
However, in VirtualDub, you simply have to specify PAL settings.
That is, 25fps, 720x576, PAL-I capture filter video decoder. Then that's that.
Pick your codecs, capture.
If you want MPEG captures (high bitrate), use the Matrox codecs.
If you want AVI, use HuffYUV, uncompressed YUY2 or Lagarith. (I use HuffYUV.)

That's how you control PAL vs NTSC. There are several places to make that change, too, as noted in the quoted text.
Change framerates, resolutions, other capture settings.
PAL is not a "setting" as much as a series of settings (resolution, framerate, signal)
Indeed, poor quality would result from incorrect capturing or quasi-standard capturing (PAL as NTSC, NTSC as PAL, etc).
The VCR is a PAL VCR? Or NTSC VCR? Or multi-standard VCR?
Which is it?
