Adaptec Videoh PCI AVC-2410..Does any software work?

[ridergroov]

Hi there,

Okay, i'm using hte above mentioned capture card and they gave me WINDVR and Sonic My DVD with it but they aren't the best so i tried Movie Maker 2, Ulead Dvd Movie Factory, and PInnacle, and every damn time i try to capture, they all give me runtime errors. I've been on all their forums but no one seems to help...so i still need some. Also, thigns wouldn't be so bad if i could figure out how to capture with the Sonic My DVD, but it doens't preview or record anything when i click capture!! THat's the software that came with the damn thing too...the only thing that seems to capture is the WINDVR. Am i stuck with WINDVR??!! Help me please!

Do you have all the latest updates for Win XP? You may find that you don't have the latest runtime updates. Start>Programs>Windows Update.

I have tried it myself with good results.


I recently just bought this card, so I ended up with the AVC-2010 (newer version of the card with the Conexant chipset).

MyDVD works, but is god awful (wouldn't even run in 2K, had to use XP). MovieMill won't recognize this new version of the card since the chipset has changed (this has been confirmed since I emailed Emuzed today about it).

But then, thanks to the forums here (this site rocks, BTW), I found out to try SageRecord (http://www.sage.tv). This program ROCKS! The UI is a little clunky, but you can ultimately configure everything (resolution, bitrate, etc). I just encoded a 2 hour videotape straight to SVCD and it came out great.

If you have the AVC-2010 and are having problems making MovieMill work, don't keep trying...it's a lost cause. Get SageRecord (only $20!) and be happy with a great purchase...inexpensive card with a lot of potential once you have the right software.
