Problem with my capture, please help

[nicolasd]

I recently changed PC and since that time, the capture isn't working properly with my osprey card. I actually upgraded to a much better PC.

P4- 3 gigs , 2 gigs of ram, and a SCSI 250 gigs HD RAID...

It does capture but the file is kind of corrupted or something. It randomly bugs every few seconds or so. Like the sound stop for like a fraction of second, and the image kind of bump or something..or lines appear or something...pretty hard to explain...just like a very old tv, when it start bugging, you slap it and the picture comes back to normal...well thats about the same but less intense of course...

I was wondering, could it be the SCSI drive that cause some kind of desynchronization or something? Or could it be something else?

thanks in advance for the help

And does it happen from program to program, or just one program?

Copy protection (macrovision) perhaps?

well I used the "amcap" utility that comes with my osprey card...but just to make sure, I tried with virtualdub, and it does the same bug...

then I upgraded the drivers to a newer version and it bugs even more...so I came back to the old drivers which I have been using for like a year and it still bug...


the old and new PC are both DELL compturers. Except the new one is much much more powerfull. The old one was like 1.2 ghz and 250 RAM with a 60 gigs HD or something...and it never ever bugged with it...but it was so slow I had to updrade...now it's even worst...unbelievable!

sometimes its a very subtle bug...the sound or image "skips" or "bumps" for a fraction of second...and sometimes its much harder...I really don't understand what's going on..I've been capturing with the same settings for a year without any problem...
