What capture card do you have?
ATI TV Wonder Pro, ATI USB 2.0, Dazzle 90, Dazzle 80, Dazzle 150, and now, a Hauppauge HD PVR

Wow, you have quite the collection. What did you use before the HD PVR?
ATI TV Wonder Pro.

So you capture in VirtualDub?
Yes.

What is your Capture pin settings?
RBG24, 720x480

Do you change the capture filter?
Yes, all the time.

Could you give me your settings?
I never go more than a week without adjusting them, but not very drastically.

Brightness: 6067
Contrast: 2867
Hue: 5000
Saturation: 7867
Sharpness: 2
Gamma: 1
ColorEnable: Disabled


What compression do you use?
It depends on my hard drive space. I usually record uncompressed, but recently have been using Huffyuv 2.1.1.

And you use Huffyuv 2.1.1 while you capture?
Yes.

So do you use MSU to deinterlace?
Yes.

What script do you use?

Avisource("Video.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()
LoadPlugin("msu_fieldshiftfixer.dll")
MSU_FieldShiftFixer(1,0,0)
ConvertToRGB24()


Do you add any filters in VirtualDub?
No.

So do you use Sony Vegas for rendering?
Yes.

What are your project properties?

Width: 720
Height: 480
Field order: None (progressive scan)
Pixel aspect ratio: 0.9091 (NTSC DV)
Frame rate: 29.970 (NTSC)
Full-resolution rendering quality: Preview
Motion Blur type: Guassian
Deinterlace Method: None


So do you add any Media FX or anything to enhance your quality?
Nope.

What are your rendering settings?
I have like 20 different ones, it's all preference. As long as you have Video rendering quality on Preview and the bit rate is decent, you should be fine.

So do you remember the bit rate for the Spring Break montage?
I believe CBR Two Pass using 4mbps.

Is there anything else you would like to say?
I really don't do anything out-of-ordinary like everyone tends to think...My quality is just raw and rendered. That's it. I will only answer questions on AIM about quality if I'm approached nicely. If you ask like a douche, I will be a douche right back. Oh, and also, check out my capping thread, as I'll be back capping for one months in my SD or my new HD quality for the SAME PRICE: $10 or a one month for 30 clips.
