Your patience and help here would really be appreciated. Trying to capture from Sony DV (with pass through) to PC using VideoStudio 6. Have found that I must capture by selecting DVD NTSC otherwise my finished product on TV is short and chubby (whether SVCD or VCD is selected as finished product). This leads me to believe that my capture settings MUST match my source settings. In any case my preview picture, while capturing, is dark and jerky, yet finished product is smooth on monitor and TV. Using firewire to PC and video card is ATI Radeon 7000, processor is Athlon 1900+, using dedicated hard drive with 7200 spin and 512 meg DDR RAM. Are my assumptions about settings correct and do you have any idea about the jerky preview picture??
Thanks for any help offered.
