2004-09-19 Thread Derek Fountain
The HOWTO says that "-d 2 is already better than VHS video (a *lot*!)." Does that mean that if I'm capturing from a VHS source I will gain nothing from using -d 1, and should always use -d 2? Or does it mean that given a theoretically perfect source, capturing with -d2 and then playing back woul

Sorry for repeating myself but, put it in a book. "Video Processing for Dummies". The Canopus is great. So far I've has error free problem free captures. I'm waiting to hear feedback when you get that HD-3000 from pchdtv.com. Richard Ray On Sat, 18 Sep 2004, Steven M. Schultz wrote: > > On Sat,
