Dropping frames during capture ...but wasn't before

[pynx]

I have the ATI TV Wonder Card. When I first installed it I was capturing video without dropping a single frame. For this I was using Adobe Premiere. Then, when I tried to cap another project, the frames started dropping; so I switched to the ATI Television in the MMC. It was capping fine (despite the fact it would only allow 7 minutes of avi recording on a 40 gig drive that is 80 percent empty). It seems now I'm losing frames through this medium. Are there some settings I should verify anywhere on my system to maximize my capping. I have a PIII 1000mhz with 256 RAM, a Geforce 2 32MB and of course the ATI TV Wonder card.

Are you using the same settings in ATI's software as you did in Premiere. A slight change in the color format, resolution, or compression codec can greatly alter your results. Try capturing in YUY2 or UYVY with Huffyuv or an MJPEG codec. Also make sure that DMA is enabled for your hard drive in Device Manager and your system BIOS.

You may also wish to try capturing with AVI_IO or VirtualDub, although I don't know how well ATI's drivers will function outside of ATI's software.
