The original capture is fine -- but putting it together, when creating a new copy is a bit blurred. What i'll do is probably try to create another copy with as close to the originals settings as I can get. Also could you tell me how to get vdub to do mpeg (If i remember right it just does avi's, but there was some sort of mod that allowed it) -- Because I could probably use vdub to use a direct stream copy after I edit them together - also if I need to I could get/use avisynth -- although I don't know how to use that.
