Topic title. Basically, while playing games on my laptop through my capture device, I popped in Final Fantasy VII and could instantly see why games look so crappy on the laptop -- there are no scanlines like the way a TV looks. If I could somehow emulate them in some capture software, or just even emulate them on the monitor itself, that would be awesome. Thanks.

By scanlines I take it you mean you want to add interlacing? Video is usually de-interlaced to make it look better not worse. I'm sure there is some effect in whatever video editing package you have?

I've got Virtual Dub, PVR Plus and WinDVR 3. Are there any others that let you enable interlacing or do you know how to with either of the programs above?

Typically, video resolutions from consoles are on the low side. My PS2 hooked up to a Large Widescreen LCD looks truly awful. It's the limitation of playing lowe res on a high res screen. You get around it by playing the game in a smaller window.
