Capturing Problems

[zorinsmarket]

I currently own a DVC 80, yeh I know it sucks, but I just got it to capture video from my Hi8 camcorder of my son and put in on VCD. Im having trouble with getting the audio to work. I've tried using the audio inputs on the DVC 80 and I get video,but no audio.I plug the audio cables into the sound card I get audio, but when I try to capture the video and audio and then play it back all I get it video. I've tried using the MGI 4.0 and the newest virtual dub 1.4.8, but no luck. One other thing is I noticed is that I get alot of frame drops with both programs, Is there a certain way to set up the programs when capturing video of this nature. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!

I think you've forgotten to select the audio source you're trying to capture - in Volume Control->Options->Properties select "Adjust volume properties for Recording".
Select Line-In as your recording source.

About the framedrops: your system seems fast enough so I'd rule that out as being the bottleneck.
-Revert to Win98 if you're using Win2k or WinXP. Driversupport for the latter OSs sucks concerning Capture/TV-cards.
-Enable DMA for your HDs.
-Use latest drivers e.g. Detonators 23.11, VIA 4-in-1 4.37.
