What I used to capture:
- JVC HR-S9911U S-VHS Video Recorder VCR w/ Built in TBC
- AVT-8710 TBC/Proc Amp
- ATI 600 USB as the Video capture device
- VirtualDub + Huffyuv lossless codec
My laptop properties (HP Pavilion G6 notebook):
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1, AMD Athlon ll P360 Dual-Core Processor 2.30 GHz, 3.0GB RAM, AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250
Hello everybody,
I captured some Japanese anime VHS some time ago following the steps recommended in the following link:http://www.digitalfaq.com/guides/video/capture-avi-virtualdub.htm
I also read that the result of capturing using those steps is an interlaced video, which is good. Now here comes the dilemma, I asked a friend to look at one of the captured videos and tell me if a proper encode in x264 would result in a nice video.
After looking at the video, he told me that he couldn't precisely tell me if the captured video was interlaced or not, since a tool he uses to analyze videos only works with mpeg stuff and not avi. Also, he told me that maybe there is a possibility that the video is progressive with some traces of interlaced artifacts. He even showed me images of consecutive frames to show me an example of those strange frames:

For the record, I play the captured videos in VLC and went through all the deinterlacing options and the video stayed the same. I also tried with PotPlayer automatic deinterlacer and I got the same result.
So here is where the problem is, I am 100% sure that I captured using those recommended methods. Capturing with that method would result in an interlaced video right? If that is the case, then why the deinterlacers in the mentionded video players don't do anything (raising the suspicions that the captured videos are progressive for some reason) and why does it have that strange artifact showed in the dropbox link? I personally played the VHS from a VCR connected to my Plasma TV and it did not show any strange artifacts like that, so it isn't a problem of damaged VHS. Japan is also NTSC btw.
I have cut a part of the video so you guys can inspect it:
