Geforce 4 + Svid capture to AVI software

[Terra]

Hey!
I have Geforve 4 ti 4200 ViVO and Im tryin to capture some TV. My problem is that PowerVCRII and WINDVR have bad MPEG2 encoders (cant blame them, they are real time) so I want to record to AVi. for some reason i cant tell Vdub to use Svideo so i cant use that but i can use UIVCR which i found good but has that annoying 30 day thing. ANy other utilities i should try

If you can't tell V-Dub to select S-Video for your input, you may want to re-install the capture drivers.

My Gainward board works just fine, I just have to manually select "S-Video" every time I want to capture.

Just go "Video", "Source", then on "Select a Source" pick "S-Video" on the drop-down box.

I have such a junk card, yet it does capture with the s-video in, so yours probably should too.

Mine's currently up for trade(for a AIW7500)/sale on a local newsgroup

PowerVCR2 and WinDVR2 have GREAT mpeg2 capture abilities.
If you choose the right settings to use with them.
My captures are SWEEEET.

Ok, say, it's encoding quality is something people won't all agree on. I didn't like it. Besides, I'd rather capture to mjpeg then do post processing (crop, cut commercials and all) then encode.

Well,
I just ran into another problem w/ iuvcr. Like after 5 minutes of perfect capture oto huffy, i start dropping frames. and the end movie is jumpy and skips every second. i defragged my drive but still. always after 5 minutes. (7200 rpm HD Maxtor, I am thinking of getting a WD 120 GB w/ 8 megs of cache, does that cache really help for captures?)

Can someone tell me thier most successful settings for WinDVR. Every time the scene changes, it is pixelated for a second and i cant figure out a way to make it not be. Thanks for your input
