Hello all,
I write this so I might get a simple question answered, as well as, shed some light for those having the same diffulculty I have had with the tv@anywhere capture card
OK, without going to into too much detail My scenario is this-
The card comes with OEM Intervideo WinDVR.
The Program only captures in MPEG no AVI
Because this card is a based on a new chipset Third party support is nearly nonexistent.
So to capture in avi One is stuck with capturing AVI in 320x240 using Composite or s-video with all third party programs including virtual dub.
However, One program shines here VirtualVCR will allow me to capture in AVI upto 720x480 But again I am limited to composite or svideo capture, no tuning available.
So this leaves me in a dilema should I capture 640x480 avi off of a composite source and then encode svcd with TMPGENC OR the let the WINDVD capture an MPEG off of a direct Cable hookup at 640x480 6400 kbps and then encode this mpeg as an svcd through TMPGENC ( IE double encoding one form the card other from TMPGENC but from coax)


Perhaps to say it better if composite is roughly 240 lines of resolution and s-video is ~400 lines what is the resolution of a direct hook up to coax?.

Cause if the coax from cable gives me full 525 lines of resolution then perhaps capturing to mpeg at a high bit rate then reeccoding might yield better results.

Now that I have gone on enough I ask you all.
TIA
