Getting good looking slow motion

Can someone give me an idea how to get some good looking slo motion captured.
I’m using the PLDX recording tool and recording at 120 FPS, putting it through Virtual dub, also at 120 FPS, and rendering at 60 in Sony Vegas. If I put it through VDub at 60 FPS, (which I did by mistake at first), then I get a half speed clip but it’s stuttery and jerky.
I tied the cl_smooth 1 and cl_smoothtime 1 in the console but that didn’t seem to do anything.
I obvioulsy tried slowing it down in vegas too, with a ‘ctrl drag’ of the clip in question, but same dice, stuttery and jittery finish.
I’m obviously doing something wrong, (nothing new there then!), but me and my tiny mind cant work it out.
Any help appreciated.
i use 360 fps

the binds i use to capture
bind – “host_timescale 0.00001; r_decals 1000; host_framerate 360; startmovie snipingtwo”
bind = “endmovie; host_framerate 0; r_decals 1; host_timescale 1”

I’m probably wrong but,
I think the higher you record at, the better it will look. So you would need to record alot higher than 120fps to get it looking better.
edit: 2 faster than me :)

Awesome, thank you all very much. Now await my own fail frag movie with baited breath….ahem.
Div 6 shitnerds FTW!!!!!
I get rather fine slowmo when recording in 120 fps :/
When your in vdub, compile it to lossless (if your using the TGA method, if using the avi’s select the lossless codec at the start) and then edit in vegas, then just stretch the clip, unless you want really supah dupah slow motion then record in a higher fps!, once ur done render it uncompressed and use the encoder in PLDX and render it in h264 at 60fps.
done!
