I have 3 field sequential VHS 3-d titles that I want to transfer to DVD-R. When capturing from VHS to my computer the mpeg file loses the 3-d effect. Has anyone else tried to do this? What am I doing wrong? | ||

You have to be sure to capture both fields. If you follow the rules for interlaced 2D capture, the 3D integrity should remain intact. You might want to read this for a starter... it's one of the many links you will find on the subject if you look up "VHS capture" at google.com: http://www.digitalfaq.com/capture/software-resolution.htm P.

I have followed the rules as far as I know. What I'm looking for is someone that has actually converted field sequential VHS to DVD on a computer. I've talked to a few people on e-bay but they use a stand alone dvd recorder to convert VHS to DVD. Has anyone done this on a computer, if so how did you keep the 3-d effect. Everytime I capture the 3-d is gone and i'm left with a 2-d movie. Using virtual dub for capture. | ||

I have done it lots of times. I never use analog capture, I always capture analog sources such as VHS via my DV-camcorder, which didgitises the image on the fly. | ||

Trust me... it's gotta work as long as you capture both fields. It's no different than capturing interlaced 2D video. What codec are you capturing with? It has to retain the field integrity. Most lossy codecs won't work, because they deinterlace the video. HuffYUV would work. I used to use the ASUS capture codec that came with my video card. I captured via S-Video at 704x480 (NTSC) and it worked fine. An MPEG capture card should work, too. What specifically are you having problems with? There are a bunch of things that can destroy the 3D effect. Look at the capture in VirtualDub. What's the exact problem? Reversed fields? Deinterlaced video? Only one field captured (e.g., 352x240)? What specific capture codec was used, and with what exact settings? Identify the actual problem... PKK |
