Newbie questions about DC10+

[The Knight Argent]

Hello all. Thanx for being here.

I just bought a DC10+ a week ago (based in part on you guys' input) and I'm having a blast capturing Witchblade episodes for later archival on VCD.

I have a question however. I am getting some kind of interference in my video. I only really notice it on large patches of lighter colors, like skylines and such. It kind of looks like shadows from a miniblind moving across the picture. What is this, and how do I get rid of it?

I'm capturing at NTSC standard res, getting solid fps... using a gold plated S-Video cable no less...

What could it be? It is just the price I pay for only shelling out $80 for a capture card?

Oh, my machine is a...
Celery 566@850
Abit BE6-II
256 MB PC133 RAM
Hercules Geforce2 MX
SB Live Value
IBM 75GXP 20GB & 15GB drives

I'm running a P111/800 on BE6 with:-
AGP GeForce2 MX
Slot 1 SB PCI64 (shares with AGP)
Slot 2 DC10+ (does not share IRQ)
Slot 3 StudioVCD (shares with USB)
Slot 4 NetGear NIC (shares with highpoint)
Slot 5 Free (shares with ISA)
ISA 1 Free (shares with Slot 5)
ISA 2 SCSI Controller (shares with Slot 5)
4x Quantum 7200 rpm Hard Drives
Ricoh 7163 16x Burner
Pioneer 116 16x DVD

If the "interference" looks like interlacing then this sounds like a hardware config causing partial interlacing artifacts in the frame.
Guy posted here previously with this sort of prob. He had a frame of the capture to d/l. When I used Photoshop to deinterlace the frame only the top or bottom half would clear up.

Two things you could try,
1. Move card to Slot 2 if it's not there so it doesn't share. I think your BE6-II is the same as mine for IRQ's except you can disable the Highpoint Controller.
2. Try running your processor at 566.
Also I find AVI_IO great for capturing mutiple 2 gig files with the DC10+ or StudioVCD in my config.
