Problem with 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

what program are you using for capture? and what format are you capturing to? if you are capturing to avi, what codec are you using?
btw: i really want your computer.....lol. u have 4 times the ram and almost twice the processor power that i have...not to mention 170 gigs of hd space more then me.....

Im using "amcap" which comes with osprey cards...I also tried with virtualdub and I get the same problem...I capture in AVI uncompressed 320x240 ...

try using iuvcr (get the demo) or VirtualVCR (freeware). also, use a codec called huffyuv. its a fast, lossless codec so the quality is just about the same as uncompressed. also, capture with a higher resolution, such as 640x480
