I remember seeing a similar chroma lag before; it was caused by a colourspace conversion (YV12 to YUY2) before IVTC. However, in that case the chroma was combed and not like in those screenshots.

It does look like the result of a noise reduction filter.

Interesting, had no idea, there really are a multitude of things that can go wrong in the process if you're not careful. The example frame I posted was indeed IVTC'd but no colorspace conversion took place, the X9-video are being stored in YUY2 in this case, it's unfortunately in the source and I agree that it looks like a result of noise reduction, combined with the bleed and shift of the chroma it becomes pretty nasty looking sometimes. Unfortunate as an X9 cap of these LD's are truly a great gift otherwise.

Arnie.d, thanks for replying, weird... what capture cards are generally recommended, I guess the prices varies pretty much between cards, any good sites or threads for these sort of things?
