Hauppauge 1212 HD PVR & VirtualDub

[MakiManPR]

Well I just got and HD PVR and it came with the software Total Media Extreme 2. TME has been really healpful but I noticed the videos recorded with it have black lines. The thing is I don't want those black lines on my videos and I don't wanna render them cuz it takes a lot of time and since HD PVR already compressed the video inside of it rendering it will make it lose more quality and the video files already have a small size so I don't see the need of it(I don't edit them). I see no option on TME to crop the video before capturing it like VirtualDub can do. That's why I tried VirtualDub with HD PVR and it does recognize the HD PVR but I get nothing in the preview of the program and when I try to record it give me an error. So my questions are: Its possible to record from HD PVR using VirtualDub? Is there any other program that let me edit the frames that the HD PVR will be recording? I don't wanna render the video files after I recorded them. Thanks in Advance.
