Hi there, I'm using the Brooktree Capture Card BT8xxxx to record from my VHS player. I use Virtual Dub and it works well, the video and audio are in sync and I use the Mpeg4 v2 codec to capture the avi file.

My only problem :0( is that the end picture has waves through it, a bit like watch a tv on tv, if you get what I mean? Is there anyway I can get it back to a solid picture and not so wavy, anything to do with deinterlace????

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!!

Hi chrome307:

Seems to me you're getting a 60hz humm in your capture. You may want to go to Radio Shack, and buy a "Ferrite Bead". it's a round ferrite material and you put on each end of your capture cable. Just make one loop of the cable, around the ferrite, at each end of the cable. Be it Composite or S-Video. If the interference is "Riding" on your cables, this will eliminate it.
If the interference is coming from the VHS itself, then it could be the power supply in your VHS player. If you don't know how to do this, here's a link with some info: http://www.howstuffworks.com/question352.htm

Thank you again Kwag for your suggestion, I couldn't find snap over with ferrite beads, so ended up buying a ferrite ring for the time being. That does help to a degree, but it still is a bit wavy.

I have an SVHS connector on my TVcard and have tried to input that way but I don't get a picture. I don't think it's for TVout so it must be for input. My VCR does not have SVHS, so I am using a SCART adapter which has an SVHS connector.

Any other suggestions?

Can you borrow another VHS player, to try and isolate the problem, and see if the source is external or internal to your machine?
