Is it possible to capture Playstation 2 games at 60fps ?

[jide]

I was wondering if this was possible when i use Vdub i get lots of frame rate losses no matter what codec i try.

I know a game called Virtua Fighter 4 Evo but i've been wondering if it's been possible to capture at the same frame rate it runs at.

Please if you can help

When you capture your video, you are capturing 30fps interlaced, really 60. So if you separate fields, whala, you got 60fps. You could always use the DeinterlaceSmooth filter for Avisynth. It looks pretty good, gives you 2x res, and 2x fps without interpolation information (too much).

Hmm i see thanx so if i can capture using virtual dub mpeg 2 or Raw format and set it to 30fps is that right ?

How do i set it up sorry for the newbie question i just want to make sure

[DivXExpert]

29.97fps to be exact.

[DivXExpert]

Then open up your avi with avisynth, run separate fields, and DeiterlaceSmooth, and now you have full res, full framerate video!

so just to confirm i capture at mpeg2 30fps (29.97fps) then deinterlace the video ?

Don't bother.

Raw? Your harddrive isn't fast enough. Try MJPEG or HUFFYUV.

[DivXExpert]

Yes. HuffYUV would be very good. Yes. Set it up for 29.97fps, but don't just deinterlace it normaly. Separate the fields in avisynth, then use the "DeinterlaceSmooth" filter. Don't do MPEG-2, Huffy is alot more reasonable. Its faster, and higher quality.

I seperate the fields and put the filter on but i get a jumpy video and the audio goes out of sync what am i doing wrong ?

Also if i encode to divx to i enable deinterlace all frames or encodes as progressive ??

[jide]

It also seems that the playback is even slower for some reason now. I'm completely stumped

[DivXExpert]

Reverse the field order, then set the playback rate as 60fps. Your Computer has to be very fast to play it back at 60. do not tell divx to deinterlace.

Why are you sugesting deinterlacing after separating fields?

Separated fields are progressive by their very nature. (as long as the source was truly interlaced)

[DivXExpert]

SmoothDeinterlace is a special deinterlace filter that requires separated fields, but results in 2x framerate, and 2x resolution. It works in a similar way as a SmartDeinterlacer but a bit different.

The Sample you sent me, is from a compressed capture, it is also half resolution.
Please Capture uncompressed, Full 720x480, interlaced. This is what you need in order to convert.
