nvidia guys, what program do you use for your vivo?

[chinkgai]

so i used to have an ati x850xt pe and i used mmc to capture my home videos using their default "home theater" profile

my result with a 6 hour vhs tape would be pretty decent quality. normal pixelation you would see in vcds.

now i got a bfg 7800 gtx oc. it came with a program called videostudio 9. the resulting captures look like garbage. the "pixelation" from fast actions in the media would result with these "horizontal" looking lines/artifacts that appear at the edges of objects in the media

i've never seen these before ever with the ATI

so my question is, is it the vid card? or is it simply the program?

pls no ati vs nvidia flaming here...

The "combing" is from Interlacing artifacts, the pixelation are compression artifacts. Likely the results from capture settings rather than equipment issues (provided your drivers are properly installed) You probably just captured with deinterlacing enabled, some video soap filtering, and the Home Theater profile is a high quality capture setting with the radeon card. Even though the radeon is far more mature product, the nvidia card should still be able to do well enough.

Consumer level editors aren't usually the best capture applications, but try different settings with short captures and see the results. Analog capture is not trivial, so you'll need to get familiar with the software and workflow required to get the best results...I'd start with the highest settings. Also, make sure your source signal is as good as possible, and you have decent cables...connectors ect.
