ATI Radeon All In Wonder Problem with Audio

[greggk]

I have an ATI Radeon AIW. I can capture fine from cable TV, audio is good, everything, using virtualdub. Then today I tried to put in an old vhs tape, and I used the Adapors that came with the radeon to connect to the vcr, so composite in and audio. Using the ATI software, I can view the tape just fine, the audio is fine. However, as soon as I try to capture, I lose my audio, it goes back to the TV audio instead of the audio from the composite. What am I doing wrong here? Please help.

Sometimes it is as simple as to what input you have your VCR on (not the wires, but is it in input mode). Might have something to do with how your audio is output. Do you have the little audio out jack plugged in your sound card?

BTW - having problems with stuff I bring in through the ATI card - can't get it to save right. I have it saving as MPEG-2, and it seems to want to save as something with extension mp2 which is totally different. Suggestions on how you make VCD's off the stuff you bring in through the capture card? Just got it last weekend myself, and still working out the kinks.

I have everything connected properly. I do not have anything connected to my soundcard, not from the outside at least, on the inside, the video card is connected to the sound card. I have the VCR connected to the ATI Input Adapter. The video and audio comes in clearly, however, as soon as I hit the record key, it stops the Composite audio, and starts the TV audio. So, it will record the composite video, with the TV tuner audio, which ever channel was last viewed.
As far as your capurting problem, I've been playing around with it for a couple of days now, I have found out that the ATI capture software doesn't really do a good job. I'm using the virtubal dub, with the PicVideo codec to record, then you use the TMPgenc program to convert the AVI to an mpeg or mpeg2 format, and it works wonderfully. You do need a lot of hard disk space though.

Please help with my problem, it's still not solved!!

Ok, I've figured it out, well, not really figured it out, but it's fixed now. I was running windows2000, and I went to the Windows Update site, and it had a newer driver for the ATI, but I never trust the windows update site, but I decided, what the heck, so I tried it, and indeed, now it's working fine. No problems now, at least not yet!
