I'm trying to sort out some quality issues with my capture card. I have a Dazzle DVC 100 (not the greatest, I know). With my current internet connection, I am streaming at a resolution of 720x480. I'm not having any trouble streaming at that resolution (no dropped frames). I'm using a 1500 bit rate and 30FPS. My CPU usage hovers between 40-60ish percent while streaming.
My problem lies with what I believe is an interlacing issue (horizontal lines upon movement). The picture looks clear (for SD) when there isn't any movement. Sometimes, the picture looks clear when there is movement. Other times, however, I get bad horizontal lines upon movement, which makes for poor picture quality. I can resolve the interlacing issue by using OBS's deinterlacing feature. While that clears up the interlacing, it creates a new problem: the picture is now fuzzy. The once readable menus and closed caption text (that was perfectly readable without deinterlacing) are hard to read.
Does anyone have any idea why I would have intermittent interlacing issues? Why would it look perfectly fine one second, but have interlacing issues the next? What causes interlacing in the first place? I would have thought it would be a consistent problem vs. one that goes back and forth.
Thanks for any and all help!
Edit. If it makes any difference, this happens both locally (in the OBS preview) and on Twitch. I'm doing most of the testing via the preview mode for simplicity's sake.
