General Capturing/Editing Questions

[rhuala2]

1. When capturing most channels I get good result, but I tried a football for a test and there was a lot of ghosting and jerkiness. The fast action with light colors on a dark background really seemed to push the capturing process. I basically captured about 15 different channels for test purposes using PowerVCR II, Virtual VCR (Morgan codec) and Winproducer. All other channels came out fine but football. Anyone know techniques for reducing/eliminating ghosting effects? What's the best way to deal with small bright objects moving fast? All captures were done with zero frame drops.

2. How can I get adobe Premier 6.0 to save to a useful file format. It seems to save to its own compression format that ends up most times larger than the original file. What would be perfect is to have it save in the save format it loaded a clip. But I find after I crop the clip I can't seem to find a useful save format.

3. Can I get TMPGEnc to encode to a file of size 640x480? If so how please.

4. Keep getting Errors using IuVCR, "Event raised (error code: 80040228) Any advice. I tried to install the bt848 drivers but they don't work with my nVidia WDM drivers? Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks for any responses in advance.

Have you tried any of the Kwag or other gurus' templates for TMPGEnc. The newest templates are suppose to be good quality even in high motion scenes. Check the Tools section at left
