Try making the video clips through a program called Power VCR or a similar program that can handle clips and clip splicing. I had a hard time recording clips with DScaler. DScaler is really only for doing caps. But Dscaler makes caps clearer than most average programs like ATI TV Wonder.
Quality of caps depend on how you are connecting video and the video sources. Coaxial cable is the worst way to get video streaming, but a DVR and Dscaler clear things up. Also how clean the cables are and the way connections run though out a house great effect the video caps quality.
If you cap through a cable box i.e. digital cable or satellite. Then the video quality greatly improves. HD video is also another way to go, but for some things it is ineffective like dark settings.
Capping through a VCR is great, but not as good as a DVR. Bottom line DVR and cable boxes have a way of clearing up the image coming in and Dscaler has something similar. So it should make your video much clearer to cap as long as the tapes don't have lines on the them or the tapes are chewed up.
Also, I thought I could record long clips and post them on the server that we use to store clips. But the amount they give is actually rather small and even with a cable modem, the longer the clips the longer the time it takes to upload. So I had a hard time once uploading a music video and gave up as it went over the limit. Plus, it is time consuming to try and break a clip in two in order to upload a part two of a long video clip.
One would be better off recording small video clips of the video you want to show and then doing another video clip of the next video you want. I used a DVR and I found that storing video is great. Cause it allowed me to go back and re-view stuff. Plus it allows me to do slow-mo and get great shots.
I never actually, uploaded a video clip on wwow because, once I had gotten the art of how to make a video clip working... I moved and I haven't been able to cap and clip since.
Another tip is to check the sound drivers and volume well. I found that I hadn't install the cable right and that was why I couldn't get sound on clips at first. Also I had to messing with the recording volume as it came out louder than it should have. The sound you hear when recording is not the same as the sound you get when playing back clips. This is due to the sound going out through the recording playback volume. So if you have that up loud then it causes your playback to be loud.
Make sure the clips are short. I hated waiting for several minutes while the clip tried to upload and then it died and didn't do anything else. What can seem short can actually be long enough to not fit into the uploading server.
Tried to upload an entire video of a song, by Mariah Carey from a concert, and it wouldn't upload even though it was four minutes long.
The programs to upload video, might have a way to buy more space. But, I am told those without cable modems have a hard time downloading long clips. So I wouldn't make it too long, even if you did get enough space to upload...say a music video. Four minutes sounds fine to upload to me if you have the space on the server, but not ten minutes. Likewise, the average clips are like 30 seconds to a minute.
Another tip is to have a dvd-recorder or cd-r at your fingertips to save caps and clips. After only a few days or weeks, depending on the size of hard drive, things get filled pretty quick especially with video.
Another thing is that video clips don't need to be in 100 percent best quality to be clipped and uploaded. But caps sure need to be in the best quality you can get it, even if it is from VCR. Having said that a VCR is not as good as a DVR. But what can one do. I've had to load my DVR stuff on VHS inorder to have space to record more since I can't cap it for now.
