Thus spake Michael Nottebrock (michaelnottebrock at gmx.net) [28/08/04 15:37]:
: That's not surprising, given that fxtv will simply just throw away one field 
: if the window is small enough (and perform no deinterlacing at all if you 
: pull it up to full size, i.e., full interlaced glory).

Hmm....  Well, thanks for that.

: I myself use -vf lavcdeint,denoise3d=12:9:18 for watching TV and I'm quite 
: happy with it.

I just tried denoise3d and hqdn3d (why denoise3d over hqdn3d?), and both are
still providing less-than-optimal resolution.  Maybe I'll try another
S-Video source, to see if that's the trouble.

: On my oldish Pinnacle PCTV, I need to connect the external lineout to a 
: line-in on my soundcard to get audio. Recording that audio with mencoder is 
: just a matter of setting the recording source to the line-in and turning up 
: the rec mixer ...

That's what I figured, I'm just completely clueless about recording from a
different audio source.  (Yes, yes, man mencoder...)
