Captured video has double image

[Guest]

I used virtual dub and a trial copy of Mainconcept DV CODEC to capture some
home movies to my hard drive. All was fine, except the captured avi file
seems to have a double image ghosting when there is motion, like children
running, or when the camer pans quickly.
Any ideas what caused that?

IME, this is caused by capturing the fields (upper/lower)
in the wrong order. See if there is a setup configuration for
this and try it the opposite way you are running now.

Field B - first
Field A - second

You don't have a choice about the order in which the camera writes and
therefore transfers the video. Many editors do have a choice of which one
they put out first when writing a new AVI or to tape. That does make a
difference.

This is software. What hardware (capture card) do you have. You're using
VirtualDub to capture?

So you capture with fast av master, right? Then you load AVI file to TMPGenc,
right?

Why don't you try to swap fields during capture first. If you get incorrect
field order, TMPGenc doesn't help for some reasons.

If that is the case, load avi file into VirtualDub, swap fields, start
frame server. Save file as vd.vdr during frame service. Load vd.vdr into
TMPGenc. Good luck.
