View Full Version : ATI + Virtualdub vertical resolution suddenly going to half-height????

I am a mass capturer. I've captured some 300+ G of videos in the past 18 months. For the first year they were 352x240 (yuck).

Finally after getting Win2K installed, I can capture in 512x384, which is just fine for animation. And I get 1+ week uptimes instead of having to reboot before EACH capture.

But sometimes, I wake up in the morning, check my nightly captures, and they are half-height. That is, the video is still 512x384, but all the content is compressed into the top half. It is essentially 512x192, put into a 512x384 window.

I have to crop out the top 192 lines, and do a bicubic resize to 512x384 in order to "restore" it to "512x384", but it is a much much much much much much worse looking 512x384...

Has anyone had this happen with their ATI cards? :confused:

I'm using VirtualDub + ATI Radeon 32M DDR with s-video input.

I had catalyst 02.1 drivers though next time I reboot I will be using 02.2....

This problem has been happening more and more frequently lately. I went to search for it and forgot that I had posted this.

NO ONE has had this problem?

VirtualDubVCR 1.4.7 - ATI Radeon 32M DDR - Win2K - 512x384.

Timed captures... Go fine... then suddenly only the top half of the video is occupied -- it is still 512x384, but all video is crammed into the top 192 lines while the bottom 192 lines are black.

No one?? :confused:
