How do I capture??

I was just READFAGin and I'm very disapointed in the instructions (or lack of) for analogue capturing. All it does is says 'get in Vdub, capture mode, pick yur codec, size and your good, if you got probs than screw you!' So I go to pick my capture size (video->format->resolution) and I have about 5 choices over the default 320x240 but none of em work! when I press ok it says 'Error 418: Unsupported video format' and it goes back to default. I've also changed the colorspace to all flavors of YUV and RGB but nothin! I just wanna capture at 640x480 or larger (6x4 is all I can do in my MPEG program) with a lossless program ;-p.

There is a whole other guide to analogue capturing... But I can't help you with the Vdub problem.

That has nothing to do with analog capturing.

See if it works @ 320x240. My ATI TV Wonder VE isn't really allowing me to select anything higher either.

Not sure why

I don't know maybe it doesn't support it. I am not a capturing genius.

Damn me... I guess there's a difference between 'Capture' and 'Creation.' I saw Analog and went wild.

Video capture massively varies from capture card to capture card.

It would really help if you actually told us what your hardware was otherwise we can't help.

This is the reason the guide isn't more specific - there are too many capture cards out there so we can't write a guide for all of them.

thanks (and of coarse your genius #2 w/ the guide...) I have an Iomega PC-PVR which Dscaler recognizes as a Pinnacle Studio (cuz it is...). If you know of something on doom9 or something that'd be awesome cuz I'm in the reading mood but if you can clue me in on what matches with what (preferebly xxx by 480 like the guide eludes too) so I can follow along better that'd be awesome x2!
