Can you use Virtualdub filters while capturing?

On all my captures from sat.. and vhs I'm getting fuzzy lines on mostly motion. I have looked at alot of post on filters and wanting to try a few but not much said about using filters during capture? Would it be okay if to use if you wasn't droping frames or putting to much load on machine. Or can you use virtualdub filters during tpmge encoding ? PS I have used field order changes in tpmge and does remove them but really takes away from picture and I capturing with Huffy codex also. Thanks for any help.

You can frameserve to TMPGEnc, with filters applied in vdub. So there is no need to apply filtering and then encode in 2 seperate processes (I would suggest this is the best method). As far as I know you can apply filters during capture, someone may correct me on this, but I would imagine you would drop a ton of frames.

Yes you can, but it's not recommended.

First off you do video/enable RGB filtering and the video/filters. If your captures are not RGB24 then it has to convert to RGB and then apply your filter and then compress. Most VDub filters will not work ( unless you have a honkin fast PC).

Good luck, but I would not be suprised if most filters don't work.

Thanks for the help, most of the reading I have done people have suggested to use convolution3d filter or I may try to deinterlace and see what happens. I have been doing some captures from my hdtv receiver and looks geat other than the motion scene's with getting the outlines. thanks again for all the help this is a great site!
