Today's stupid question ;)

[dirtyjumbo]

I normally don't use sponsor content but right now I'm making a site using PimpRoll's free content because I'm having a hard time finding good black lesbian pics (and my budget is a bit tight at the moment)

I know many LL's banned vid caps recently so before submitting I want to make sure these pics aren't vid caps, I don't wanna get blacklisted and I really have no idea if these are vid caps or not |noclue|

They are vid caps :(

[dirtyjumbo]

Thx for the quick reply MrMaryLou :)
I thought so but I wasn't sure

Oh well, time to get the VISA card out and buy some content lol

Yeah- all the video sites pics are vidcaps.

They are working on getting some production pictures from videoteam.

Looks like crap vid caps to me. :(

[Alphawolf]

They are not so great. The two sites I made for that site, I picked the best pics from the vidcaps I coould- but still...not so great.

Didn't seem to matter as those 2 free sites have made the most sales for me.

but these... |flush|

Jumbo,

I couldn't really tell myself. This whole vidcap thing seems strange to me. But what can you do? :)

if the vidcaps don't work, you might consider just using the videos...

The whole vidcap thing starts back at the quality of the original camera work, lighting, and such. Video has very little latitude (difference between light and dark) which turns them into very flat images. The sharpness of the focus, the amount of movement, and other issues also contribute to these problems. Remember also that video cannot display as many colors as a still camera, and as such, there is a lack of spectrum.

Proper de-interlacing (there are techniques) and a some adjustments to the colors, brightness and contrast can help. Many videos are just not savable, often because the camera is hand held and never stops moving, which makes it VERY hard to get stable images without motion artifacts.

Poor quality in means poor quality out. Lower quality cameras (especially 1 ccd DBV cameras) are not going to generate high enough quality images to work from. Unless the video was shot with the intention of extracting stills, it is very unlikely that you will get good stills.
