I've been using my Analogue Interactive CMVS for a little while now, and on my CRT it looks amazing with SCART. Even the component looks really clean on a more modern television, but the purpose of this thread is to ask if anyone has had any luck using an upscaler for recording purposes.
I run a YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/ProjectCOE), and would like to broadcast my video reviews in 720p/1080p. Normally with older consoles I run them through RGB SCART-to-HDMI via a CVID BG-460 (example of the quality is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twgsXeYyulQ). It's not the best upscaler in the world, but for the purposes of my video reviews it does a pretty good job. A weird thing happened when I ran the CMVS through the upscaler though, instead of showcasing crisp visuals, the colors were wavy, and there was noticeable flicker. I should also mention that the SCART upscaler doesn't see the RGB signal, and instead see the source as AV SCART, which has never happened to me before. With all my other retro systems it will list the source as RGB SCART. I believe this is where the problem is stemming from. Unfortunately the Analogue Interactive cables are proprietary so I can't just try another RGB SCART cable to see if that's where the problem truly lays.
I'd like to know if anyone has used any other upscaler for recording purposes? I know of the XRGB line, but that seems like overkill since I'm only doing this for videos and not for my personal use. For that I use my CRT. I'm going to try a work-around and use a component-to-HDMI upscaler and see how that goes, but if you guys know why I'm having issues it would be nice to know. If a solution can be found I'll do a video, and give props to whomever is able to lend me a hand.
Thanks in advance for any info you guys can give me.

For those curious to see exactly what I'm talking about, here's a link to the direct feed video (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6728337/Neo Geo Quality Test.mp4)
