Captures are compressed to top of screen?
 

Hello all
I am pretty new to converting vhs to digital and have learned a ton from this forum. I did some searching and did not find a solution to an issue I am seeing. Randomly video seems to be compressed to the top when I playback with VLC media player. This is for the duration of the video. How do I resolve this issue?

This is my setup:
JVC HR-S7800S
Datavideo TBC-1000
ATI Pro 128 Theater Rage
VirtualDub 1.10.4

I will attach some screenshots below. I appreciate the help.

Does this show up when you view the video file in VirtualDub or any other program?

Just to make sure it's not a VLC issue

I tested playback with virtualdub and it did the same. I also tested on another pc and it did the same.

What are all of the exact capture settings?

Do not use VirtualDub 1.10.x to capture. This is a possible problem. Re-capture with 1.9.x

Another possible issues is the ATI drivers are wrong. Those old 128 and 128 Pro cards can be a PITA to install, often requiring "hacking" (unconventional non-easy installs). That's why I haven't suggested these cards for years now. There are easier paths with ATI AIW.

The root issue is 720x240 is being recorded in a 720x480 palette.
