capture problem or macrovision?

[jaybird]

I have been using the same hardware/software combination for several years with good results.

However, my vid card(G400) went bad, I decided to not only upgrade but also reformat, add ram and went to a GForce FX5500(needed dual head and the extra ram and new instruction sets wouldn't hurt either).

Have been capturing @ 720 x 480 with no problems but now with the VHS tapes that I am trying to capture its either 352 x 480 or nothing!

Either I get a lot of strange horizontal artifacts or the color all goes blue or the screen freezes, massive dropped frames(although the recording continues, but capture is un-playable).

My question is this, could these tapes have macrovision? VHS, Star Wars I and II?(I'm just backing them up for safety purposes) and how do you tell if a tape has macrovision before you attempt to capture?

Regards,

OOPS! typo error(fumble-fingers )

My captures are limited to 352 X 240, not 480!
