Help: AverTV card, S-Video and vertical lines

[Digitizer]

Just replaced my aging and noisy TV Wonder with AvertTV Studio. I used the same universal drivers that I used for TV-Wonder, so I can capture at any resolution in VDub. TV-Wonder did not have S-Video working under Win2K though, but this card has it working, sort of. I am getting these irritating vertical lines on the screen, they are highly visible. They are not seen in composite input mode, maybe because it is less sharp in general. Anyone found the cause for it? Is it the 4-to-7 pin converter that comes with AverTV?

BTW, the card is at CompUSA for $70 with a $40 (!) rebate. That means a brand new card for $30. It comes with a remote and its own audio in, and I found that makes the sound much better. The picture is probably worse than a brand new TV Wonder, but I could not find a new one that is not the Value Edition. I got the stereo version years ago, probably the last batch

I'm sorry, your video is interlaced.

TMPGEnc can de-interlace video files for you under expert settings. Read up more at http://www.100fps.com .

Hmm, I have been doing video caps for years, I know interlacing when I see it. Besides, I said vertical, not horizontal lines.

Sounds like interference lines.

You could try to eliminate the svideo/rca adapter as a cause if you had a straight svideo source in.

I have an older avermedia tv98 card which has been very faithfull until I moved my computer setup to a different room. My svideo connection is now causing a similar problem so I use the rca input instead. I suspect the closeness of a new 32 inch TV with side speakers which are very close to the svideo cable running from my cable box. I may eventually track the source down when I have time. I tried switching 3 different svideo cables so I know it's not that.

p.s.
In my case capturing from some digital cable tv stations seems to magnify the problem more than others. When I use the rca input the problem is gone.

That went right over my head!
