"Ghosty" movements in a Huffy captured avi

[superfresko]

Hello everybody!

I started capturing with Huffy codec with a BT8x8 card, BTWinCap drivers and Virtual Dub. I captured the 8th episode of Earth 2.

Then I encoded the captured AVI with TMPGEnc to have a Half-DVD mpeg2 file.

And what happens is that on fast moving scene (for example, when Devon stands up quickly and run towards her son) there are ghosty shadows...

I cannot understand if it depends on the encoding options or because of the Huffy codec. Unfortunately I cannot play the AVI file with MediaPlayer, so I cannot see if those shadows are on the AVI file.

Anybody has any suggestions on how to avoid those unpleasant shadows?

Thanks!

Bye bye,
Massi.

Is the avi de-interlaced?

Is the avi de-interlaced?

Nope.

The source AVI is interlaced (PAL) and the mpeg2 output file is interlaced too.

Byebye,

was this capped striaght from the TV???
or off a Video tape???

I got a similar problem with what you described capping
Star Wars IV from tape - the first hour or so had this motion problem and it slowly "faded" out to a normal cap - I wasn't using huffy either
