Frame capture colours wrong

[Peter]

Frame Capture colours (yes, we spell it like that up here :) ) are totally diff. from the original (correct video). Not a big deal, but thought I would mention it.

Hi Peter,

Are you running YUV acceleration? I have found a difference on my old Win98 machine between the colors (U.S.A. :P ) displayed on accelerated vs. non-accelerated versions (Non-accelerated is blue tint.) Also the video display is the DirectX interpretation of what they think you should see. The capture picture is displayed according to whatever picture viewing program you're using. On my XP machine the video is always a lot darker than the the finished DVD appears on the TV.

Peter, send me a small bmp showing the wrong colors.

Sent via email Dan.

With or without YUV, makes no diff.
The snapshot in wintv is good.
Cheers.

PatFWIW, on my initial installation all chroma was 180 degrees out of phase (NTSC) flesh tones cyanish, like a creature out of Farscape, blue jeans pink. Running VRD on an Intel (I think series 815) mobo with built-in video so YUV acceleration seemed to be not applicable. But it was; enabling it corrected the colors.

What graphics card / resolution are you using? The RGB routines have to parse the colors into the appropriate display bits while the YUV accelerated routines use more of the video hardware and video card drivers.
