I am finally making some progress! Do I know how or why--NO
. VD just seems to like me today.
I was able to look at the histogram for the video fed to my VC500. It was an odd pattern because all across the top edge there was a saw tooth pattern where the level rose then dropped to a baseline level at equally spaced intervals. I put my HVR-2250 card back in and it does not show a saw tooth pattern. But, as I was stepping through the Capturing with
Virtualdub Guide, the saw tooth did appear when I changed the frame size in Set Custom Format from 352x288 to 720x480. Why?
The biggest, positive surprise today is that VD is allowing me to show the preview video, histogram, and levels at the same time with the HVR-2250 card
. This did not work yesterday during my day long marathon trying to get a capture device and VD to work together.
BTW, thanks for the capture guide. It's great!
