DScaler is not capture software. It was designed to watch external devices in real time on a PC. My "capture card" is also made for this specific use. And since DVDs often contain a progressive image telecined to a 480i one, so you need some kind of deinterlacer to do this. There are multiple ways of doing this on a computer, DScaler is but one of them.
Well I hate to point this out to you,but when you run a DVD player along with anything else into a capture card,your capturing the image onto your computer,given the name,capture card. Nor did I even state that Dscaler is capture software,although it is a assisting program used to clean and view the
captured image your desiring to view. In other words you are then using Dscaler to clean the captured image up a bit to make it cleaner and more appealing to your eyes. As I said above as for deinterlacing DVDs,
There are better methods. I take it your trying to remove ghosting or artifacts? Try using IVTC inside TMPG and see if it does what your wanting.
I'll maybe take some pics of the display later, got some other stuff to finish first.
Thats what all the losers say....
I don't quite feel like doing that just to see essentially the same image except with scanlines and on a display with a lower refresh rate (I run mine at 120Hz).
Since your highest goal is aimed at getting the worst possible image with your older game systems why not just use emulaters on your leet set up instead???
Sorry, I'm at work right now.
If so,then why are you still on here arguing with us for hours on end.....
As far as computers specs goes,it doesn't much matter,as long as you are using a good high end Athlon XP,2800-3200+,preferably Athlon 64,have at least 1-2 gigs of ram, a good chipset based motherboard,like a Nforce 2-Nforce 3 250 if your using a AGP All in Wonder,and a good modern All in Wonder 9800-2006 Edition your system should be fine and able to prevent dropped frames of your system,and with Dscaler use a Wintv or ATI Tv Wonder.
No matter how well you optimize the settings on Dscaler,it will not be perfect,or as good looking on old game systems as a SDTV. To some extent you even admitted this,but you turn around and say you prefer your setup because you don't like scanlines and low refresh rates. Well,I am sorry but old game systems were built for SDTV image capability,not to be run into AIW Pros with Dscaler and displayed on Super VGA screens.
I have already had plenty of discussions like this before,and about upscalers too when I chit chatted on laser disc forums. Basically what your trying to do is improve a image that cant be improved the way your thinking it can it sounds like. You may not admit to this,but it is essentially what your doing,and you are failing. And your also assuming because we don't use the "leet" method your using that we know nothing about it,but your wrong,because it ends up we know quite abit more then you.
Basically in the end you are just sitting there lying to yourself and willingly cheating yourself out of a better gaming image. In the end this is your choice,but no one here is going to agree with you about it,so maybe you should take your argument elsewhere,because you are all alone here.
