are you capturing in VCD mode?, try capturing in a high quality mode and then converting using Tmpenc using a good template (TIbrO's aren't bad). this might work.

Maybe you should read this thread first

[Macros746]

Capture using a lossless codec (huffy or MJEG), experiment with filters in VirtualDUB and/or TMPGenc, up the bitrate (see what your player will accept) and you will see a DRAMATIC increases in VCD quality.

p.s. make sure that motion in TMPGenc is set to 'high' at least.
