ATI TV Wonder VE freezes system

[mrpoopy]

Any ideas why this is happening? When it freezes the system, everything freezes. No error message is produced until the system is fired back up (I'm using Windows XP).

I'm pretty sure it's not the capture software causing the problem. It happens no matter what software I use (Virtualdub, MMC, PowerVCR, Windows Movie Maker).

It used to freeze quick when I was using Windows 98. WindowsXP takes a lot longer. I can record sometimes for 10 or 15 minutes before it freezes.

I thought it could be an IRQ problem and the only other thing using the same IRQ is my USB. Is it ok for something else to be using the same IRQ?

Here's a description of my computer if it will help diagnose the problem:
AMD Duron 700mhz
192 megs of RAM
4.2 gig HD (DMA is not enabled because it doesn't work for some reason)
Gigabyte 7zm MB
Winfast geforce2 video

Are you using the ATi drivers? If so........they are JUNK. Get the ones for "btwincap" from sourceforge.net

I have tried the btwin and ati drivers. the system still freezes.

I've started a thread with same topic (also using TV Wonder VE), only difference is my computer config. vs yours:

You'll need to provide information on what tool you use for capture, what format, resolution, compression you setup for video and audio capture, etc... if you hope to get help here.

Just my 2 cents...
