cant select vertical res above 288

[Fishman]

Hi there, i recently installed a tv card i had ages ago, the Avermedia TV98

http://www.aver.com.tw/Taiwan/products/tv98remote_e02.html

i am running windows 2000 which was not initially supported but now is.

i can capture in 352*288 fine
i tried to set a higher resoltion but i was told it was not supported. i tried loads of custom resolutions to try and find a good one.

I couldnt get one so i thought id set a high horizontal res just to see what happened and it accepted it. i can get the horizontal resolution right up to 768 but the vertical will not go above 288

is this a driver issue ?

btw is there a full screen mode for virtualdub in tvcapture mode so i could use it as a tv. the player i have gives a really poor picture for some reason even with fine tuning whereas virtualdub is perfect.

and one more thing, in virtualdub 1.4.8 it never saves my settings for capping, and i have to reset most things everytime. is this normal ?

hi,

if you are watching while you're capturing, you can try using 'preview' instead of 'overlay' mode. or not watch at all.

that may solve the vertical resolution problem.

couldn't you use DSCaler or AVI IO for watching TV ?
especially DScaler works very fine for me.
