When you switch it to TV or Standard, the Xbox 360 is using Standard TV Output.

Because Halo 2 was made on the original Xbox, it was made with the highest definition being 480p which did not require component video. Therefore, you do not see a loss of detail in the graphics. However, because you are used to playing Rainbow Six: Vegas on a High Defition TV with component video, you see the loss of detail when you use standard composite video (Yellow cable).

I now switch to an av channel to play.

I'm just very new to all this stuff, and didn't know. I did appreciate your tutorial though it has helped me alot, and is actually the tut that made me decide to go ahead and purchase a cap card.

I capture off of my 360 with a dazzle 100, and I just have two Y adapters, and the 6ft av cable...I spent probably 15 dollars on those, and 40 on my CC, and I have great quality
