Capturing analog video thru a VCR hooked up the my Aver TV98 card using IuVCR on my Win ME system. Using VDub to framserve them to TmpgEnc Plus. IuVCR gave me a better capture than VDub (more jaggedness in the VDub captures) Goal is to make a VCD for playing on the TV. Secondary goal is to make a mpeg CD to play on the PC (thru Media player ). Once I get the hang of it then I'll try a DVD

I have to use segmented captures so I have several 2gb files. I can't use the 'append AVI' option in VDub to framserve all the AVI's one after the other because it reports slight differences in the fps rate (ie 29.9703 vs 29.9705) So I'm doing it 1 by 1 & using TmpgEnc to merge the mpeg's.
Anybody else ever run into this?

Anyway, when I framserve to Tmpg, I'm using a resize filter in Vdub.
Should I check the interlace box in the filter option since the source is an AVI captured frm a VHS tape?

In TmpgEnc, I have a choice of the NTSC or the NTSC Film template for VCD. Which one is appropriate? The box from the VHS tape doens't say anything regarding this.

In the the 'Advanced' tab after hitting the 'Setting' tab, Should I choose non-interlace or Interlace? If interlace, then which field order?

For making just a Mpeg CD, do I use the non-interlace options and also use a non-interlace filter in either Vdub or Tmpengc?

Capture Resolutions: VCD 352 x 240 audio 44.1 khz
DVD 352 x 480 audio 48 khz?
Correct?

thanks
