Staircase effect on CX23881 card ?? how to avoid it ??

hmmm, but i have found that 320x240 is the highest i can capture at without getting the interlacing effects all over the screen. 384x288 produces them, along with every res above that is that just this card in particular or is that normal ?!?! should i therefore, cap @ 384x288 and then run deinterlace over it ?? the largest res it will allow in iuVCR is 640x480

heres a pic @ 384x288 see the funny lines on the far side line ?? @ 320x240 those funny lines have gone, but so has picture quality :( i cant decide which card to sell, this based on the new 10-bit ship or my Winfast based on the old 8-bit chip i think the future is the CX23881 but right perhaps not ?!?1

368x276 see the funny lookin lines ???

one thing is clear these pictures are not interlaced. and now something different, where did you see lines in the pictures ?? :confused: the one with the higher res looks just more clear to me.

Capture @ full res. (640*480) and deinterlace it with SmartDeinterlacer and NOT with VirtualDub's own deinterlacer and the video will look fine.

can you post a moving example of that ? i still cant get it and im feeling like an idiot :) (but well, i have glasses)

I really suggest you use 640x480, then edit it with and deinterlace it with 's plugin. It'll retain sharpness of both fields of the interlaced frame, and avisynth just rocks for editing. Use something like this: Code:

the decomb script above is for IVTC and is not appropriate for PAL; instead you should just try telecide() or fielddeinterlace() daveqb - can't really see these jaggies properly - they are either caused by bad deinterlacing or a poor resizing algorithim give the avisynth deinterlacing filter tomsmocomp a try
