    VHS to Divx5 using VDub questions

    hi I am trying to capture some nba games from vhs to DivX5.02 using vdub and i would like some recommendations from others who have done similar.

    At the moment i am capturing at 512*384 at 25fps and MP3 mono sound. DivX settings are
    1-pass quality based set at: level 4 (93%) and
    source interlace set at: All Frames are Interlaced Is this alright here or should I deinterlace after capturing

    seems to produce pretty good results with under 2% frames droped but would like to see if there are settings producing better results as I would like to produce as best as possible from vhs tapes.

    also where can i find all DivX5.02 parameters fully explained?

    thanks

    If you have sufficient hard drive space, to avoid dropping frames, capture video using a lossless codec (such as HuffyUV). Afterwards, use VirtualDub to compress with the codec of your choice...

      thanks

      thanks, ive done that in the past, but then i have to reencode afterwards, yeah it does give better results but not by much as I have a pretty fast system so encoding to divx on the fly is really no big isssue.

      anyone got any good divx5.02 settings for vhx captures?

        "yeah it does give better results but not by much"

        By the 2% dropped frames you've indicated. You can't improve on 100% ;>}

          yeah, but im lazy anyway under 2% frame drop is acceptable for me.

          what would be visually better: the 1-pass quality based at 4 (93%) or 1-pass normal at around 1000kbps.

          is it worth capturing at 720-576 instead of 640-480
