how do i get rid of the DAMN lines

[]TNT[]

hehe ok i have a hauppauge win tv card and i capture using 352x480 for cvd's now i get lines in my picture and i can deinterlace afterwards with virtual dub but id rather not convert to avi while deinterlacing just to make a cvd afterwards.

Is there a setting while capturing i can use so i can rid of these lines besides the deinterlace filter on the capture as this gives me frame loss.

Thanks to anyones help in advance

Capture to a lossless codec first then convert to divx, mpeg,mpeg2, etc.... The source is interlaced and those are interlace line you are seeing. Encoding after the capture will eliminate then.

Wht not just burn the interlaced mpeg. It will look fine on your TV.

thats assuming he captured to Mpeg :P

That would be an end product of mpeg2. And can be interlaced or not, but that is another topic.

To summarize, no. And you don't want to.

Anything you capture from an analog source with a vertical resolution over 240 is going to have those scanlines. It looks weird on your computer because your TV only reads every other line at any given moment. Like those before me have said, just burn it to your CVD. Those scanlines won't appear on your TV.
