Capturing above 320 x 240 with avertv card.

[SteveBia]

Greetings all.

Here is my question:

I'm trying to capture video above 320 x 240 with my avertv card. The thing is, at the higher resolutions I get lines that show up across my WHOLE desktop and they show up really bad in the preview field of the video. The distortion lines are especially bad when there is motion. These horizontal distortion lines show up in the captured video files. I'm thinking maybe my capture card can't handle it, or I don't have enough Ram (96 MB) or my video card is not up to speed...?
any ideas?
Thanks all.

If you capture video larger than 320 X 240 you will see this distortion. This is normal whenever video is captured from a television source. Its called interlacing and it causes those white lines that you see. When the scene has little motion, there is little or no interlacing. When the scene has lots of motion, interlacing gets worse. You get rid of this when you encode your captured video to another format. You need to use a deinterlacing filter with whatever video editing software that you use to convert the captured avi to divx or mpeg or whatever. Most video editing/conversion software come with filters to remove interlacing.
