<![CDATA[Knightmare Video Capture]]>Guys and Gals,

Just had a wondering, i tried to do this a while back but ran out of time and went 2 university - now ive almost finished i think im gonna try it again!

Basically - as my VHS tapes wear out, i wanna try and make divx/dvd/xvid captures of the KM episodes to retain their quality.

I should state this is NOT for profit/selling on ebay or anything like that! I promise!

BUt i would be interested if anyone has done this before and could recommend which format works well, e.g. divx/mpeg to dvd etc and any details e.g. resolutions programs etc.

Last time i tried this, the results wernt so good as far as i remember!

BTW i would be using an ATI 9600XT TV in to capture the video,

Help would be very mcuh appreciated!

Regards

Steve

At the mo ive done 4 eps of Series 7 this is how i did it...

  1. Capture DVD Mpeg2 @ 720x576

  2. Filter in Virtual Dub with temporal smoother (low) and static noise reduction. Cleaned up the pic a bit

  3. Filtered sound in cool edit pro - comes up nicely

  4. Re endode in TMPGenc to make roughly 1gb file

These are coming out pretty good - the filters in virtual dub filter out some of the wavy lines, the sound is easy to fix. Its series 1 and 2 which are gonna be hard - the tapes on a standalone vcr or via the pc have flicking or bouncing from the top of the screen, which my tv/vcr combi seems to filter out some how. I think i need a time base corrector, but that costs £100+ so thats out of the question!
