  • Grrrrr!!!!!!!!! The last frame captured lasts for 88 minutes!??!!?!?!

    I captured 90 minutes of a tv show from vhs last night, and ninety minutes later, after it finished, I stopped the capture.
    I used Virtualdub with the PicVideo MJPEG codec at quality 19, 720 x 576 for eventual dvd output.
    Before running through TMPGEnc (I intend to convert to mpeg2 at circa. 5000 VBR) I checked the 30gb file (using Windows Media Player and also the ATI Player) and whilst the first few minutes were fine the majority was just a still of the last frame (the last frame is the BBC logo at the end of the vhs tape).
    I skipped to about the 60 minutes in point and it was still the same frame, and at the very end sure enough, the same frame.
    Strange thing is, if you look close at the very top of the capture, there is some movement across tehe full width of the screen which I guess is the actual capture. It's far too narrow to accurately determine exactly what it is but there's enough for me to say it is the whole of the 90 minute capture.
    I've captured off digital tv many times and done a couple of vhs conversions but never had this problem before.
    I was thinking at first it might be copy protection but I have a macrovision scart remover thingy so there can't be any copy protection on it.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    Will

    I've seen video like that before... but only due to a playback problem.

    Try encoding and see if the output file still has the same problem.

      I have seen the same issue before, and it is usually a playback issue with high bit rate files, try viewing it with virtual dub, premiere or MSP and skimming through it

        Oops!
        I deleted the file, stupid of me.
        I can son capture again.
        I did run it through TMPGEnc and rie dthe source range function. I tried a segment ten mins in, twenty mins in and about one hour in.
        All same.
        I'll capture again and this time I'll encode, regardless of what I'm seeing.
        Thanks,
        Will
