View Full Version : PICVideo 3 settings for TV capture

Does PICVideo (Version 3) still have problems with yuv capture or should I select RGB12?

I have selected Yuv2 and 320x240. Any higher than that seems to give me horisontal lines on moving objects. Is that normal for a terratec TValue?

I have set the quality to 18, but what about the other settings such as "encode normalized yuv", "subsampling", "2 fields if more than 240", and "swap fields" ?

Some people say to use these drivers :

But it looks like they are a couple of years old whereas my Terratec drivers are new. Should I just stick with my Terratec drivers?

Thanks

If it works, don't fix it. :)
I always used YUV2, and the max Q of 20, to get the best results, as everything is going to be encoded to mpeg-2 eventually anyhow.
The only other box you need to check, is the "subsampling", "2 fields if more than 240". I don't remember why, but I did read about it somewhere.
