My current living (no space for CRT type TVs) and financial (no money for a newer LCD TV) situation doesn't presently allow me to have or buy an adequate TV to play PS3 on, so I bought an EasyCap DC60 capture device and have been looking for capture software that will allow me to play on my laptop without necessarily writing to my laptop's HDD.

After discarding the older Honestech HD DVR software that came with the capture device, I moved on to VD. While both softwares work, technically, they both give me blurry video quality with lines (I think these are evidence of interlacing). This makes it quite difficult to read any text displayed, especially if it is of a small font size.

I'm using the preview mode of VD only and not actually capturing and am hoping some more experienced people here can help me configure VD to clean up the image in the preview mode. If that doesn't work, maybe someone will know of other software that will do what I want.

Thanks in advance for any useful replies.

Previewing not viewing. I would try The KMPlayer. Open/Setup WDM/BDA...
Blurring might be sort of the EasyCap DC60 is too weak for HDTV signal and limited by analog resolutions like DVDs.

Any way to get into view mode without recording and playing back? I'm guessing likely not, but worth asking anyway. I tried KMPlayer, but it has audio issues that I can't seem to clear up. The cracking and popping sounds are driving me nuts, so back to VD. Additionally, I've been unable to improve the video quality in a way that clears up the text significantly (sharpening helps a little, but I can also do that in VD).

It may be the capture hardware I'm using is not adequate as you said...
