[Coco] capturing CoCo video

[Roger Taylor]

This is a little issue I've had off and on for years when I've tried 
to use various PC capture devices to record live CoCo video...

Some of the capture devices I've owned seem to freeze on 
non-interlaced video.  The DVDExpress DX2 box which is USB based is 
the latest device I own that also can't capture CoCo video.  If you 
hit the CoCo Reset button or power on the CoCo, you can sometimes get 
a single frame of CoCo video, but it's rare.  Almost always you get a 
frozen frame of garbled video, but.. never more than a few frames.

I realize that a lot of people are using the emulators to fake a CoCo 
screen capture or a running game (I do this myself), so I'm not 
looking for that answer.  What I'm wondering is if there is some kind 
of unit besides a VCR that the CoCo video can be routed through to 
add the interlaced effect, or some trick?  Sock Master ?  :)
