Higher quality images of a previous post.

Great caps

.........

Oh and i'll add:



I'd go higher myself, but my caps come out all blurry at that resolution . I've capped at 1440 x 810 in the past, but i'm quite comfortable with 1024 x 576

S'all good Xfactor, i prefer that than no caps at all.

1024x576 works for me, Xfactor. Like you, I used to downsize my caps to improve picture quality as I prefer the way they look, however most guys on here prefer the larger sizes it seems. A few other cappers who used to post the 1080 sized caps have dropped off so for the purposes of posting on here, I just blow them up to 1920x1080 and try and get them looking the best I can. If you post the smaller sizes then we can has the best of both worlds.

Keeping off topic isn't the trick to cap and post as close as possible to the native resolution?

If the native show is true HD from Ch9 for example then post a cap at 1080 but if its from say ABC2 then do it at 720 etc. If there is a need to up or down scale then do it to nearest native resolution. Upscaling 576 to 1080 really doesn't work all that well but an 810 upscale mightn't be as bad.

Any scaling/resizing is going to cause loss of quality, even downsizing, though it is preferable to upsizing. When you downsize you inevitably throw away pixels. If you can a hint is to use the Lancos filter for downsizing and Mitchell for upsizing.

Oh and for those lucky enough to get it there is very little that beats Genuine Fractals for changing image size, and it does batch as well. It uses vector maths to do the resizing rather than the normal bitmap pixel interpolation.

Well i don't know about others but when i click capture it automatically captures at 1920 x 1080

Welcome Laxative effect . * Do you cap in the prgram your capture with or another? These are from the stream 1st 3 are last Sat & currently broadcast @ 1080 x 1440 & resized to 1080 x1920.. the last one is from 3 may 2009 when they used to broadcast @ 1080 x1920 ( in Sydney ) and nothing done to it. The large caps look ok on my LCD 1680 x1050 but awesome on the old 1024 x 768 CRT as letterbox full screen.

I have heard that some systems you set the capture image parameters = everything comes out that size. LupusRex has that so SD ch ten stuff is upscaled but quite nicely considering the huge increase.

NOTE: Chit chat is allowed, with posting a penalty pic or 2 haha

Yeah atez, as long as we post the pics to back up the info.

Both capped at native resolution. Any blurring or artefacts will be due to reception or JPG conversion (I frame cap in TIFF).

Please note the under glass top action in the second cap.
