So, I'm trying to record Thief. Neither Fraps nor Camtasia will record the level-end screen, which happens to have the time and other stats on it. As my video card (Radeon AIW 8500DV) has both TV-OUT and TV-IN, I figured I'd connect them together and record that way.

It works. There's a bit of degredation from the digital->analog->digital conversion, but it works. Still, there's one thing that annoys me - the picture I capture is interlaced, presumably because that's what my card is outputting.

Does anybody know if there's a way to force it to output 480p instead of 480i? I could just deinterlace it, but I'd prefer to not interlace it in the first place.

the composite/s-video will only transfer 480i unfortunately. the cables don't have enough bandwidth for 480p. if you were crazy enough, you could buy a dongle that will convert your VGA out to 480p component video and pass that into a card that captures component 480p but I don't know if those exist.

edit: the only hope I can find for capturing 480p is in HDTV input cards like this:http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/video/mdp130.asp

those things only accept coax inputs however..... good luck to those trying to get that to work.

Meh... too expensive to be worth it. Interlaced it is.
TomsMoComp is an excellent deinterlacer for avisynth. http://home.comcast.net/~trbarry/
