Capturing problems with AverTV Studio and WinXP

[Tempomat]

Hi all,

I am running an AverTV Studio card under WinXP with the latest WDM drivers from the Avermedia website.

MPEG2-captures (720x576) using the standard software and "best quality" settings are ok so far and I can replay them with WinDVD, but as I try to convert them to SVCD, DVDx cannot find audio and TMPGenc won't even read the file...

What's wrong? Can anyone help? I am lost.

PS: If there is a better way (or software) capturing VHS to SVCD, any tip is appreciated...

Have you tried WinDVR 2.0?

Assuming you want to capture straight to mpeg and not do an AVI-mpeg convertsion.

i have that card and have expirenced the same problem... i found no solution so i downloaded the drivers at http://btwincap.sourceforge.net installed them and started using virtual dub... it works great but i can see to get the old software to work oh well....

Thanks for your help so far - here are the results.

ok. I tried to implement the tweaked driver you mentioned and all I got was an unusable tv tuner including I had to completely reinstall the card... so I guess this not my option (or maybe I'm not doing well enough).

VCD capture is working, but unhappily the quality is not really what I would expect. And I tried captures in AVI (with vdub), but TMPGenc won't read those.

No, I did not try WinDVR yet.

Hi all,

just to let everyone know:

I bought a little software package called "Filme auf CD & DVD 2.0" (by Magix) - have I mentioned I'm german? - and this offers me fool-proof conversion and editing options (regardless if this is recorded in MPEG1, 2 or AVI or DivX or MOV). That's cool - I will continue capturing in MPEG2 using the original AverTV software and then cut the movie to a SVCD-fitting size...

Works great so far!
