This question might be a bit out of place here, but anyways...I recorded a Pokemon episode from tv today with my ancient PSP (640x480 with 15 fps, the best video camera I have...I know this sucks), just for the fun of it ya know. Both TVs I have are of the "box" variety..ie picture tube type. The recorded video had a lot of flicker and sometimes large parts of the screen went in phase with the "dark" time of TV ( = a big swathe of the video went black for a few seconds occasionaly). All this crap vanished when I reduced the brightness and contrast on my TV but the video still looks crappy.Also I'd built a stand so the camera stayed fixed in place without any "shaking".Now I'm asking these mostly out of curiosity...Would this effect, by any chance, be gone if the tv's "framerate" is made much higher?I've got an new LCD monitor in my home. If I somehow play tv on this monitor would it create better video recordings?Oh and what's the framerate for new box type TVs?If I'm able to record decent quality videos from tv with the stuff I have it'll be a cool thing lol.
