What is the size of capture window for MX440-VTD8X?

I am trying to figure out how best to resize video I have captured with my MX440-VTD8X. For the application I am using (AVISynth) I need to calculate the PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), for this I need to know the size of the capture window for my video capture card.
I think that this card uses a Philps SAA-7114H, although I cannot be certain as MSI don't seem to publish this fact anywhere. (I found a few references to the 7114 via Google so that is the best lead I have had so far).
Anyway, even if I knew it used a 7114H that doesn't much help as I can't find any published data that tells me what the capture window (in microseconds) is for this card. The WDM driver might modify the window so how, so I can't just look it up in the datasheet for the 7114H.
I am looking for figures for the capture window for both PAL and NTSC,
could someone please help?
many thanks,
Kevin

To quote from the article I have been using which gives step-by-step instructions on how to calculate to aspect ratio ..
(Pixel Aspect Ratio, Source Aspect Ratio and Target Aspect Ratio)
"To determine your source PAR, you first have to know what the aspect ratio of the capture window of your capture device is. This capture window is fixed, but again it is rarely exactly 4:3. The device always digitizes the same area of your video and resizes it to the size you set in your capture application. The raw captured height is always 480 lines for NTSC and 576 for PAL. The width of the capture window has to be determined. A table with known values (and a more elaborate explanation) can be found in section 5.4. A method for determining this value yourself can be found in chapter 11.
Once you know the capture window width, the Image Aspect Ratio of your device can be calculated as:
PAL IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.0 µs) / (576/576)
NTSC IAR = (4 / 3) * ([window width in µs] / 52.6555 µs) / (480/486) "
The 'window width' is given for some capture cards in the guide, but unfortunately not the MSI one I am using, and the 'window width' does vary from one type of capture card to another.
Without this information I am at a brick wall. There is a method to determine the window by using a PAL DVD player as the source video, playing some test image, the problem is that I only have an NTSC DVD player so I can't use that technique,
this is something that the manufacturer must know, but unfortunately they rarely publish it,

  • What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC for use with FCPX?

    What is the best software to use for screen capture on a PC (windows 7) for use with FCPX? I've tried Camtasia and camstudio however the avi files cannot be imported by FCPX and the mov files produced by these programs are shown as just black screens in FCPX.

    I use to face this issue every now and then (as a freelancer) when I use to cut on FCP7.
    if the material is DV and was captured using Sony VEGAS, Premiere or Edius, the footage generally worked fine. You'll find most people will tell you to convert it regardless, however I found no issues working with them.
    A problem you'll definitely face is HDV material. Most PC editing software write HDV in their own codec, which can't be read in FCP.
    The only thing I can think of is to try converting HDV meaterial to QuickTime using something like MPEG Streamclip, or something similar.
    Good luck

  • For best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?

    Hi all,
    can any one tell me..for best performance what's the size of an image to be stored in database?
    is it <256kb  or >256mb?
    when i google  we can store image as varbinary(max) and its limit upto 2GB..
    Can anyone exlain it?
    is it performance wise better..
    thanx in advance..
    lucky

    Your question does not seem apparently meaningful. If you need to store a 5MB image in the database, you store a 5MB image, not a 200 KB image or a 200 MB image. Business needs always trumph performance.
    Not surprisingly, the larger the image the more resources it takes to read and write it.
    What is a meaningful question is whether you should use the FILESTREAM feature or not. The cut-off limit here is usually given as 1MB. That is, if your images typically exceeds 1MB you should use FILESTREAM and access the data through Win32
    API. If your images are generally below this size, you should stick to regular T-SQL.

  • Is it possible to resize the log and capture window?

    Hi,
    Using Final cut pro, I would like to make my capture window a bit bigger while capturing. I am capturing footage via my Blackmagic Infinity card and get the input through an HDMI cable. I'm capturing in Apple Pro ress on 720p, 59,59 fps.
    For a good overview of what I'm capturing at the moment, I would love to have a bigger capture window. For all I know, FC pro doesn't support the resizing of the log and capture window. Anyone an idea on how to solve this?
    Thank you.

    In my case, the capture window is adjustable if I am capturing SD (DVCAM) video. I can also use the scopes in this case. (Good if you are recording to disk, or using a laptop for monitoring.)
    However, both features (adjustable capture window and scopes) are not available if capturing HD (HDV in my case) video.

  • What is the difference between Constant Window, Variable Window,Main Window

    hello all
    what is the difference between 1) Constant Window
                                                2) Variable Window
                                                3) Main Window   in SAP SCRIPT

    Hi,
    Window Types
    When defining a form window, you must select a window type for the window.
    You can choose between three types:
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Variable Windows (VAR)
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR.
    Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.
    Variable Windows (VAR) 
    The contents of variable windows is processed again for each page, on which the window appears.
    The system outputs only as much text as fits into the window. Text exceeding the window size is truncated;
    the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    As far as the processing of the window contents is concerned, the system currently treats constant and variable windows alike.
    The only difference is that constant windows have the same size throughout the form.
    Main Windows (MAIN) 
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form.
    For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
    It controls the page break.
    It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to
    output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form.
    The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.
    If a page does not have a main window, the system implicitly processes all other windows of the page and continues with the subsequent page.
    This page must not call itself as subsequent page (recursive call), since this would produce an endless loop.
    In such a case, SAPscript terminates the output after three subsequent pages.
    For printing header lines or totals, the different output areas of the main window are of special importance.

    Hi
    See this
    What are the different types of windows in SAP Scripts?
    Windows are defined in the Layout sets which define the position and the text to displayed.
    The different types of windows are:
    MAIN - Main Window
    The main window is a continous window which can extend over several pages. If the text in the main window fills up a page, a new page is created.
    Only one main window can be defined in the SAP Script whereas upto 100 instances of main window can be created in a page.
    VAR - Variable Window
    This window can have the variable contents displayed on them. The contents of the window cannot exceed the window size. The content can be formatted for each page.
    CONST - Constant Window
    The constant window can have a fixed content and is formatted only once.
    Main Windows (MAIN)
    Each form must have one window of type MAIN. Such a window is called the main window of the form. For SAPscript forms, the main window has a central meaning:
    • It controls the page break.
    • It contains the text body that may cover several pages.
    • It allows to fix text elements at the upper and lower margins of the allocated page window (for example, for column headings).
    As soon as a window of type MAIN is full, SAPscript automatically triggers a page break and continues to output the remaining text in the main window of the subsequent page. Page windows of type MAIN have the same width throughout the form. The SAPscript composer thus avoids reformatting of the text after each page break.

Text exceeding the window size is truncated; the system does not trigger a page break. Unlike constant windows, the page windows declared as variable windows may have different sizes on different form pages.
    Constant Windows (CONST)
    Starting with Release 4.0, the system internally processes windows of type CONST similar to windows of type VAR. Therefore, if you create a new window, always use type VAR.

    What is the shortcut to maximize window (full screen) which is normally done by pressing "<-->" like key on the right top corner in macbook pro ?

    There's no <--> key on ANYones keyboard. (Great answer Shootist )
    The other part of his answer is only applicable to certain windows (browsers specifically) as there is NO system wide maximize command in the manner you are asking.
    Apple's "maximize" function (green +) simply maximizes the window to the content, not the screen.

  • What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibooks?

    What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibookes?  I know the requirement is very specific.
    And what is the best tool to do so?  I tried to use the native screenshot tool but it is hard to make the size precise.

    Minimum size is 600 pixels in the shorter dimension. Maximum size is 2048 pixels in the longer dimension. That's what you get when you take a screenshot on a new iPad. (There is no point in having something larger than this.) Screenshots taken with an older iPad are 1024x768.
    For my book, I just took screenshots on an iPad 2 (1024x768) and used those. They were accepted without complaint.

  • What is the best virus/spyware software for OSX 10.6.8?

    What is the best virus/spyware software for OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac?

    Csound1's answer albeit short is correct. Because there are no viruses (as in zero, none, nada, zip) for OS X having antivirus software is a waste of time, resources and possibly money. About the only need for antivirus software is if you frequently download files you know nothing about and then forward them to Windows users. In that case even though you still don't need anything for OS X you are protecting the Windows users from your passing along infected files. Most anti-virus software for OS X tend to create more problems than they solve however if  you insist I'd recommend ClamXav which is free, non-intrusive and is frequently updated.

  • What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?

    hi,
    We dont have SQL server to use and opting to use windows internal database
    What are the limits of using windows internal database in RMS?
    tnx

    Hi,
    the main limitation is that you cannot access a SQL express from remote (even there are tricks to work around that), so you cannot add another machine to the RMS cluster. 
    Microsoft's recommendation for production systems is to use a full SQL server, what allows you clustering and running all sorts of maintenance tasks.
    Other than that SQL Express has a 10GB total limitation for all databases running on that server.
    See also http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd772673(v=WS.10).aspx for RMS hardware and software requirements. 
    Hope that helps,

  • When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder?

    When I add a new bookmark, and the (star) Page Bookmarked window appears - is there any way to expand the size of that window so that I can see my entire list of folders when adding a new bookmark to an existing folder? The endless scrolling technique is far too tedious when trying to add a new bookmark, because the window is simply too tiny. Is there maybe a plug-in that will let me grab the corner of that window and re-size it? Thanks!

    I suggest you install the "Add Bookmark to Here2" extension, then you can expand the the list but you will not see the bookmark itself in the list if that is what you wanted. At the top you have three major folders you can select one of them and scroll up and down. Below that you have your most recently used folders and you can select one of them instead and scroll up and down. You can see the folder the bookmark is in -- they get added to the bottom
    If you really want to see the bookmark within the folder the same extension allows you to bring the bookmark to the folder from say the bookmarks sidebar that is why it is named as such. I use it but mainly i use the dialog.
    Please continue reading about bookmarks and some related extensions at

    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#addbookmarkhere2
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm
    If you are not using tags at all, you can remove a whole lot of confusion by removing them from the dialog via the extension.

  • What is the most suitable image format for processing with imaq?

    Hello.
    What is the most
    suitable image format for processing with imaq?
    I want to capture an image of a usb webcam, store and
    then process it with imaq. I need to know what format to save the
    captured image can then load and process it with imaq vision.
    Thanks

    The only criteria is: don't use JPEG for anything scientific!  The compression involved with saving JPEGs means you always lose information.  I tend to prefer PNG - it's compressed, but non-lossy, and also widely supported.  TIFF is fine as well, but I don't think has any advantages over PNG for this application.  JPEG2000 can give good non-lossy compression I think is slower to read/write than PNG.
