VHS capture using Brooktree capture card

[chrome307]

Hi there, I'm trying to capture some old VHS footage using my Brooktree Capture Card with Virtual Dub. I manage to get the video and audio working together but the picture sucks!!! I seem to be getting a wavy pattern over the video, a bit like watching another tv on tv.

Can anyone offer some advice?

Thanks in advance!!

you mean like seeing a computer screen on tv?
where it has the refresh rate showing?

Yep, kind of. Someone told me to look at purchasing some Ferrite Beads to wrap around the capture cables, it's like a humming on the picture.

If your in the US, look up the beads in RadioShack and it will explain a lot clearer than I ever could. :0)

is there anything close to your cables that could create such an interference?

I have a few capture cards I use, and have seen the same problem you are seeing. I got rid of the problem by unplugging some of the many AC adapters I have when trying to capture video. You should also look into some heavy shielded audio/video cables. That should also help.

What capture card do you have exactly?
