Capturing to AVI with ATI All-in-Wonder

[Dougmeister]

If I can:

1) already capture to MPEG-1 w/ ATI All-in-Wonder Pro 128
2) capture to AVI w/ VirtualDub (but w/ dropped frames)

will following the steps here:

help me? The drive I'm writing to DOES have DMA enabled (as far as I can tell), but I'm still losing a lot of frames running on a P3-733 (Windows 2000). Any ideas? I will make sure that the video card has it's own IRQ tonight.

Vdub doesn't like ATI (or is it the other way around.) Try AVI IO. The droped frames have something to do with the way ati captures, but I can't remember enough to explain it. Search the forum, someone explained it once upon a time.

Thanks for the tip, Tommy.

Any idea what keywords I can search on? I tried "AVI IO" and it came up with, naturally, every posting that had the words "AVI" and "IO" in them. Needless to say, it was a lot.

Did a Yahoo search and found a lot, but you were talking about this board, right?

here is your fix for using VirtualDub and an ATI card

Thanks, Stinky.

What exactly does this do?

And, to get VirtualDub to capture at all, I had to follow some certain steps (can't find the post right now), and I thought it involved a wrapper, or installing Video for Windows, or something like that. I was getting the old "No capture driver available" error. Does that ring any bells? Is this the same "fix"?

[Stinky]

it's the wrapper

right click on the .inf file and select install

then you can use VirtualDub with your ATI
