S-Video PAL Capture (Interlace or 3:2 pulldown ?)

[xbox360]

Hello there, i just changed from RCA to S-Video capturing, in RCA when there is a scene change you can notice the before & after frame blending a little bit. But when I switched to S-Video it looks like progressive, no blending no noticeable interlace lines. The only thig I can think of is a PAL 2:3 Pulldown so how do I un 2:3 pulldown for my 25fps capture from S-Video ?

Also is there any idea on how to improve the video quality ?

those pics don't look interlaced.

i fail to see how there could be a difference in interlace between composite and YC video, unless there's some wacky settings in your capture device - the only difference should be lack of rainbows and crawling edges on bright colours (especially noticeable on reds).

there's no standard 3:2 pulldown in PAL, unless you're coming from video at 20fps, which as far as i know was never a standard rate to shoot at.

as far as improving the quality, try some de-blocking. i'm not sure if the blocks come from your capture or the original broadcast (both happen), but they need to be killed :)

also, trim off that line of VITC at the top there, and if you keep your letterboxing aligned to 8x8 or 16x16 borders, you'll get better compression at almost no cost.

picture is a bit soft, so you might want to throw seesaw at it or something.

if you keep your letterboxing aligned to 8x8 or 16x16 borders

How do I do that ?

I think he means to keep your resolution at a Mod8 or Mod16, which means make your final resolution divisible by either 8 or 16.

[SeeMoreDigital]

As far as I'm aware an S-video connection is only capable of passing interlaced images. It does not support progressive images at all.

From what I understand, he's telling that the letterboxing (black borders) should be mod8 or 16 (and of course, it's strongly recommended to have a mod16 resolution too)
