ATi capturing video

[rasto99]

Does anybody know where is video capture option(interlaced/both fields/one field) in version 7 of Multimedia Center for ATi Cards?

As far as I can tell it captures both fields in a interlace frame without any option just to capture one field. I could be wrong. What would be the reason just to capture one field? or benefit?

There are some errors in captured video. Image is not stable.

What do you mean errors? Which format are you capturing in (avi, mpeg, mpegII)? I don't notice any errors except maybe some compression artifacts. I am not a professional in this but changing the compression ratio around can improve quality dramatically while increasing hard drive space required more dramatically.

I am in Europe. There is a PAL system, not NTSC. In version 6 I used only one option. Interlaced or one field and everything was OK. When I tryed used both field, signal was not so stable(bad quality, something like flickering?). So I used only one option. In version 7 default(I think) is option = both field. But If It is possible I want to changed it. Thats my problem.

i leave my aiw on one field when i capture ntsc videos. for some reason it looks really weird when i use interleaved. my vcr can handle the playback fine, and it looks fine on my tv. i had the same prob with my hophog (hauppauge) card

But how can you leave your card on one field. Where is this choice in MultimediaCenter7.x? I can't find it.

Same here. Is MMC7 different in Europe?
