I am no expert but if I had to guess I would say it looks like you've only captured either the top or bottom field for each frame, that's why the images are half the proper height (240 instead of 480) it would also explain the jaggies/aliasing/tearing you are seeing. Or you have somehow captured at double the normal frame rate causing each field to become its own frame... :S Unfortunately I have no experience capturing using VDub or the capture card you have so I don't have any advice on how to fix this. :(

Hopefully someone else will be able to steer you in the right direction! ;)

Hi Lee,

Thanks for your response! It gave me enough of a lead to receive help elsewhere. :)

After a great deal of troubleshooting and trial and error, I succeeded in isolating the source of my difficulties. VirtualDub, for some unknown reason cannot interface properly with my PC's hardware. Instead, I switched over to using iuVCR and within minutes I was able to produce a good capture!

If anyone else has problems with VirtualDub, it might be worth giving iuVCR a go. Now I can proceed with my project! :)
