After much hours and agro i am about to chuck the towel in...

You see i finally made some VCD's after trial and error with everything -even the right media i finally used had to be hunted down as loads didn't work!.

Anyhow heres my setup

All In Wonder 32mg Panasonic cdr panasonic dvd rom

Laserdisc player connected to my computer - Ulead video studio 4.0 captures i have tried-mpeg 1/ntsc vcd/pal vcd using ulead video studio 4.0

always each time i have faint blocks can be seen in the final vcd playback?

I am a little dissapointed as to the quality.

I have the virtual bub software and could capture in AVI but i dont know how to convert to mpeg using ulead video studio 4.0 as it looks for VSP type files-in anycase would it be better result to do it this way and why not use ulead video studio 4.0 on a different setting to help me improve the quality-just that someone needs to tell me which setup will work best whilst using the capturing process???? within my ulead video studio 4.0

Please advise me.

If you have one of the AIW 128 cards check out my web page. There's more information there about VCD, SVCD, samples of what you "can" get and how to make it work. Lot's of info dedicated to those AIW 128 cards (16 and 32 mb versions)

Check out my sample VCD and SVCD clips to see what you can get with the card at it's best. BTW, I've never liked any of the third party capture for Mpeg. I only use the ATI TV Player program for all capturing. Generally I find I can get better quality and higher ultimate bit rates when not doing VCD or SVCD constrained parameters.

I've been told by many that this web site is "the" place to browse if you have one of those AIW 128 cards. (humble humble)

Have fun ... it's a GREAT card suffering from poor and buggy software, but there's lots of "work arounds".
