Fellow DC10 Help!!! I'm having problems capturing.

[FJ60]

Fellow DC10 users please help!!!! I am trying to capture video and keep getting dropped frames and real bad interlacing. I use to use a ATI All in Wonder Pro ( not the 128 version the old one) and had better luck capturing than with my new DC10. I have tried to use VirtualDub and a list of other program still with no luck. I have read post from people with less of a system that I have and they are able to capture full screen. Also maybe someone can clear this up for me.....when I capture video using VirtualDub I will not let me use any compression other than the standard MJPEG. I get an error if I try to choose any other kind of format. Looking on VDHELP's site It show s that you can use Huffyuv. I don't know whats going on but Huffuv doesn't even appear on my list of compressor when capturing. It only appear as a compressor when I am recompressing video.

Can someone please tell me how in the world to capture full screen video?

FYI:
My system is a PIII 866 over 700megs ram with 3 hardrives. I am capturing to a back defrag 40 gig UltraDMA 100 hardrive spinning at 7200 rpm.

FJ60,

I'm not shure wnat you ment by VDHELP's site. were you saying VHELP's site?

I didn't mention that you can use the huffy during captures!

Anyways, what you have to do IS capture in MJPEG because that is the only
way possible with the DC10!!! Wheather you use Studio/VD/AVI_IO or any
other capture software, you cannot set to different codec - only MJPEG.
Sorry!

Later, if you really feel like it, you can export it to another AVI format, HUFFY!
using the huffy codec. But, it's really a waist of time - as it will take for ever!
How do you export it to another AVI file format?? Well, you can use Studio
under the Make Movie tab or, you can use Virtualdub (VD) and save as HUFFY.
VD: be sure to set to Stream. . . for video and autio.

As far as capping more than 70 min. I have never had a problem with it. It
doesn't bomb out at 70min of captures, but some people claim that it does
and that perhaps maybe that I wrong, but I KNOW I can capture past the
70 min mark in AVI_IO and Studio! Anyways. . .

Just encode the captured file w/ CCE or TMPG. I haven't ben able to get
CCE to work with DC10 captures or any other captures, ie, currently, i'm using
my ATI-TV Wonder capture card.

I might do some more experimenting with CCE. I've ben dying to try it out
for its HYPIED quality over TMPG's!! But, so far, TMPG is the best encoder
for all my xSVCDs out there!!

Good luck!

Hi,

I use a DC10+ to capture with a celeron 433 (but with a 7200rpm IBM drive and a Promise Ultra100 controler).
Using VirtualDub with preview disabled, i can capture up to 768x576 at 6Mb/s without lost frames (CPU use at 7-10%).
I use a system hardrive installed with only DC10+, video, and sound card (AWE64, it's a ISA card) drivers (system is windows 98 SE) and NO other programs.
When capturing the only lost frames are when the signal is broken (for example: with a camcorder when you stop recording and rewind to view, sometimes the tape is stopped and leaves a gap between recordings).
Try to remove programs from memory (antivirus, ICQ, firewall, ...), use only the capture hardrive in the IDE channel, and disable preview in VirtualDub.

I use the following url to setup VirtualDub (except the part about PicJPEG, but configure the MJPEG settings)

To use the segmented AVI as one AVI, use VirtualDub to framerve to the encoder. See: http://www.vcdhelp.com/virtualdubframeserve.htm
