Lines in captured video

[Gearbox]

Hi!

I am trying to record some VHS tapes. I have one of those easycaps and have been using the app USB camera on my oneplus 7 pro. I had a bunch of driver issues when trying on windows ( no sound ) . As you can see in the picture it seems that the horizontal lines aren't aligning correctly, could this be some format issue I'm having? I tried with the different PAL and NTSC formats available. Or is it likely the easycap or the app I'm using that is the issue? The app seems to have a wide range of settings.

Camcorders usually shoot interlaced video. Each frame contains two half pictures, one in all the even scanlines, one in all the odd scanlines. You need to encode the video interlaced so that the player knows to detinterlace on playback. Or you need to deinterlace (turn each half picture into a full picture) and encode progressive.
