I have a video recorder connected with a scart with S-Video and RCA Phono connectors connected to EasyCAP DC60. Problem is that I keep getting horizontal grey lines on the capture screen. My operating System is Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 I wou... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021582#2021582 yes i do have a gigabit lan... and i dont know if it would really matter but i would feel better having a gigabit device... right now i am trying to price together a cheap htpc that i would use instead... it would only need to play the stuff not convert or encode, etc. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021580#2021580 Philips 3980, 5140 and 5990 for starters. Look for them locally. They are cheap, easy to hack and convert between PAL<>NTSC. BUT DO SOME RESEARCH FIRST . Companies love to change specs for no reason at all. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021579#2021579 As far as I know (someone will correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure :) ), Xvid AVIs don't quite have support for chapters. Your player/extender doesn't allow you to cue through the video? http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021578#2021578 I think darkw1zard is saying this happens with all videos, not just the partially-extracted one... but I'd want him to confirm that. :) http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021576#2021576 Well, what I mentioned above was meant to be a 'simple' guide. :D But if you have AC3 audio, I believe you'll have to downmix the channels. With the audio set to MP3 (lame) , push the Filters button under Audio , and in the Mixer: dropdown, select Stereo. (I think that's how it's done - I haven't actually tried to convert 5+-channel audio usin... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021574#2021574 One method is to go back to Xvid4psp , open the Audio Editing Options and select the source as Stereo. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021573#2021573 Thanks for all the replies. I apolgize for this as it is probably a daft question, but isn't there quality loss between Vegas and my rig if it is exported as a DV AVI file? Is there a way to export form VEGAS with no loss of quality? We are physically mailing hard drives back and forth so size is not an issue, but in order to preserve as much... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021571#2021571 Open "Audio decoder configuration" from ffdshow 's Start Menu folder, and highlight 'Codecs' in the left-hand pane of the configuration window that pops up. Scroll through the list of codec/formats on the right. Are any of the choices for AC3 and DTS (as well as any other format that might apply, here), set to 'Disabled' under the 'Decoder' column? http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021570#2021570 Check whether or not those characters exist in any of the MP3's ID3 tag fields. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021568#2021568 One similar topic is enough.

If you are that anal, err serious, then yes!..Guess I am since, I rip with EAC or DBPA.. :wink: That said, even a CD that appears in "MINT" condition can have errors..In which case, it can possibly indicate a bad pressing or un-noticeable/minor scratches/ble... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021559#2021559 iMovie = crap Canon XL1s is fine. Try Final Cut Pro instead. Or Final Cut Express . Much less $$$ and features are enough for most. http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021557#2021557 I like interlaced videos. Check Splash for playback of interlaced clips. You will get great picture quality even if you dont use hardware acceleration for video decoding. If you have quite strong PC make sure to check "Best Quality" option. It will make something like 100Hz in modern TV sets. Thanks. :idea: http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021554#2021554 LS, what's the brand/model #? http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021553#2021553 My HTPC can PVR, but I don't.

A guy saying that after capture a VHS material, before send it to Compressor to do it's job (as a QT video), we should first deinterlace the video to avoid "blocks" on final compressed video.

To do this, start PowerDVD 9, then open windows explorer and navigate to the folder that contains your ripped Blu-ray, then drag-and-drop the folder onto the PowerDVD 9 main window. After a few seconds, your movie should start.

I'll try that next time. Since you seem so very knowledgeable (that was not idle flattery), maybe you can help me with a DVD problem. Using DVDSlideshow GUI I created a DVD, in which I then incorporated some small videos (which I had needed to convert from .mov int... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021540#2021540 The idea behind using gray vs. black side pillars is the neutral contrast will result in less temporary burn in when switching between 4:3 and 16:9 programs. It will also offer some protection if you leave a 4:3 image up for some time. I'd use a 16:9 screen saver or turn it off when not actively watching. A second reason to turn it off is plasmas d... http://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=2021528#2021528 I have DL'd the FCP version of XvID4PSP 5.0 since someone on another forum assured me this should work.
