too much interlace

[thesinsoftime]

I tried using ATI and Virtual Dub to capture, using the UYVY codec. I wanted the best quality so i chose the looses codec. However, I get so much interlace. I tried running the Deinterlace filter (blending) which helps but not by much.

what codec do you guys use to capture AVI files that offer quality but easy access for Premiere?

I am using HuffYUV or MJPEG for capturing.

do not dinterlace, if your goal is TV or a SVCD or DVD

wow. it took 12xgigs and knocked it down to 83gigs.

Now, for some reason, Premiere 7.0 doesn't like the audio. It won't read it. I used the PCM, 16bit... does anyone have a clue to why this is?

Hmmm.... Premiere should read that audio format. Can you please create a 5sec .avi, file and send it to me? Just make it in the same format as you are trying to use in Premiere, and send it to ntojzan@neobee.net... I'll see what's wrong, ok?

sent

Something is strange with that .avi file... On my system Permiere loads the audio fine, however, I've got only black video, at resolution: 720x470!? It should be 720x480... What is your capture resolution? (btw: the audio seems to be 16bit stereo 48khz PCM)

well, it's 720x480, but i cropped it. there was a little swiggly ling at the bottom. I used Huffyuv as a codec. i guess i will have to recapture.

I just got my hand on a asus g4ti4800se with VIVO. It seems to capture smoother than my aiw9800pro. but the weird thing is that I can't get virtualdub to capture the audio. I have the audio anolog cables connected to line-in, and when i'm capturing i can hear the audio fine. It just doesn't seem to play back. Maybe i have something setup wrong.

If your final product is anything that will be displayed on a TV, then overscan should hide any defects that are in a border of about 5% around the image.
