I made two changes. First I increased the size to
640x480 and the other was I set the vbitrate to 2400.
On my 1200 AMD, anything higher was causing lots of
distortion issues. I get a white lines spuratically
showing up like the picture frame was miss coded for a
second. I have not spent to much time to figure out
if the vbitrate is trully causing that. With the show
I wanted great captures of (Home Movies) was
cancelled. So now improving capture quality is not as
important to me as finally getting a card that works
for TV-out in the first place.
