320x240 or 640x240 ?

[hoola_loop]

im cappipng from sat so which would be better to cap at. i get good caps at 320x240 or 352x240 but a few peeps told me i should atleast cap at 640x240(+) but when i cap at 640x240 it looks very funny.. loooooong.

That is because you should capture at 640x480 and not 620x240 (unless you just want to resize i horizontally, but I always capture both fields)

Use MMC 7.6 to capture it produces better results:

This was asked in another thread...

I suggested 640x480 to get both halves of the frame and I was told I should cap at 740x480 to get there "entire" NTSC frame .

What is the final format going to be?

If you're going to end up producing a VCD/SVCD/CVD, then I would reccomend 480X480. I really can't tell a difference, between the results of a 480X480 capture and a 640X480/720X480 capture. Actually, I notice that the 480X480 captures that I do contain less noise.

For me, 480X480 seems to be the best standard, all around capture size.

This sometimes starts some good debate. I personally agree with mrtristan but take it even a step further. If I'm making a VCD, I cap at 352x480. I rarely make SVCDs but when I do, I use 480x480 and I never use 720x480 because I don't make DVDs. Also, with that 700MHZ CPU, you may find it a bit faster converting from 352/480x480 than 720x480.

Greetings,

Will MMC 7.6 or 7.7 work with the 16MB AIW 128? I have MMC 7.2 and for AVI capture it really sucks! Will this allow me to captur AVIs with 480 lines of horizontal resolution?

Thanks,
