I'm trying to capture some video from a VCR, but after several hours of mucking around, while I did get it to work properly for about 2 minutes, all I seem to be able to get is this...

My PC is fast enough to do it easily, and I'm using the analogue in on my FusionHDTV card. I know it can work, because I had it working briefly, but something happened, and it went back to like in the picture.

It seems to have something to do with the input size, and the deinterlacing settings... but I can't for the life of me figure out what is set wrong.

Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I've been using the bundled fusionhdtv program, as well as virtualdub.

try using This
as for that picture looks like your trying to feed a pal signal over ntsc setting or secam.

also what version of fusion you got? are you using RCA or Svideo (with dongle convertor) input?

Edit: Also try Dscaler

Fusion rocks if your tv is a computer focusing on high-def. low-def is an afterthought.


cheap pc stores/dick smith/etc used to sell generic pci_1 rca-input cards, for ~$50, although they aren't hardward-enabled :(


Pinnacle sells a Firewire-based product that combines video and mono/stereo input thru to your firewire port semelessly these days I notice. Prolly worth a look - if there aren't generic variants available locally. Danm where were these things 5 years ago? I could've saved myself upgrading to the old P3and Pinnacle DC-10 combo!
