I like dscaler, but every time I try to take a screen grab, the resulting .tif file is all stretched out and distorted. I've tried changing the aspect raio, but it doesn't seem to affect the screen cap. What's the magic solution to taking a decent screen shot in dscaler? "TIA"

I think the dimension of the screen caps will be the same as whatever internal buffer DScaler is using. The height of that buffer is always 480 but the width will depend upon the Pixel_Width you set in the Settings menu.


So if you have a 4:3 screen and want that ratio you might try setting the Pixel Width to 640 before capping the pics.

Great! That seemed to work. Thanks a lot!


Another question - What is a "stream snapshot"?

 

[dschmelzer]

nazz: from what I can remember, the stream snapshot captures a series of fields before it is processed by DScaler. This helps you when you're designing plug-ins, for instance.

Got it. Thanks again!
