Capture problem ADSTech Instant DVD+DV

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

Hello,

I have an older DirecTV/TIVO system with only AV and sVideo outputs. I use
an ADSTech Instant DVD+DV to convert the SVideo signal to capture to my
notebook thru USB 2.0

Most of my captures are of sporting events. The problem I have is that the
video doesn't play smoothly during action sequences. It is like a double
image of the parts in motion (hands/ball, etc).

When I capture from my Digital 8 camcorder or VideoTape through the
camcorder, the motion is fine so that is why I suspect the ADS capture
device. (I can't run the tv signal through the camcorder, I get a copy
protect error).

I also capture at 9.0 mb/sec which is what the device recommends for DVD.

Any advice on if this can be fixed or a better capture device?

Thanks

Allen

What are you using to play back the video on your notebook?

I look at it on my computer with WinDVD. It is real noticable on the
television when it has been made into a DVD.
Sporting (action) events that I capture straight from Digital 8 (.avi file)
doesn't have any problems. I use the same video editing software
(EditStudio) and DVD authoring software (DVDLab) but the stuff I capture
with the ADS system looks bad. I don't see an option to capture in anything
other than the mpeg format.

Well it sounds like an interlacing problem, I have never seen anything
from ADS so I don't know what options are available but try changing the
field order if it's available.

Thanks, I'll look at the options for interlacing.

ADS support suggested I capture at 4 mb/s instead of 9 and also to try
using the wizard.

I'll try all and see if there is a difference.

I've been out of town but I just recaptured with different capture rates as
suggested by ADS and created two dvd compliant files, one interlaced and one
deinterlaced. I used my video editing software to deinterlace. That way
the same captured video is going to be compared on the TV.

I made a DVD with both files and the deinterlaced file looks the way I want.

Now I'll redo the entire match versus the 1 minute test. If that proves to
be the problem, I'll have a lot of video to redo.
