Vista not 'capturing' video frames fluently !!

[ahmadka]

Hey guys, I am having this strange problem in Windows Vista, when trying to capture video using my new EasyCAP USB Video Capturing Adapter. Video Capture video preview is very smooth in Windows XP, under all programs, but in Vista, the video preview is *very* slow. You see the frame change like once in every 10-15 seconds! Sometimes there is no video feed at all !!! What could be the problem here ?

Does it actually capture the video correctly or is this just a problem with the preview? I would turn off preview and try it that way. Previewing and capturing my be too much a strain on system resources. Is that the same computer that you ran XP on before where the capture device worked or is the Vista one a different computer?

But since you appear to be using a USB device, it may be more likely that your USB port is overloaded. Try removing all other USB devices and try a different port. Vista shouldn't make any difference with that type of device, unless the device drivers are the problem. Check with the device manufacturer.
