I found a nice little capture program that let's me take much better advantage of my capture card's options.

Can you elaborate on this a bit? I'd like to find an alternate solution as well.

I did find something called ChrisTV that looks promising.

The program I am using now is called iuVCR 4.170n and it looks good, so far.

It's a shareware download with a 30 day free use limit. I like how they give you a lot of options to play with, and the info panel they provide during capture let's you know what's going on with the capture, and also the CPU usage. It seems to be giving me better results then I had with VirtualDub's capture. My capture of the 1989 LD release went flawless last night. I was able to capture to a uncompressed 720X480 UYVY format with no frame drops, and it smoothly maintained a 29.9 frame rate.

Hope this helps.

FF,

Thanks for the info. I will check it out. I want to try and get the best capture from my Pioneer DVL-90, even if it's just for home purposes...I've got a few LD's like the Criterion Editions of Halloween and Close Encounters that I'd like to transfer for archival purposes.

Cheers

I am far from an expert on this, but I will be happy to help in any way I can.

I am finding that the card I use for capture has a lot to do with the quality.

I have been using this hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600. This card was included with my HP Media Center PC model: m7760n. The card has a box / panel on the front of my PC with extra inputs for Stereo RCA jacks, A compost video in, and also a second S-Video in jack. This card lets you import audio, but I still use my PC sound card for sound capture.
