Welcome to the forum.

A little tip. NEVER head a topic with the words 'help with something'. People search the forums for help and to include the word 'help' with no indication of the help you need will be of no help. 'Cannot capture at 720*480 with dazzle dvc 100' would have been much more useful and could generate more replies than this one.

The 'jump' you are experiencing is probably due to the hard drive on your laptop which is also trying to do other things at the same time. Your GF's laptop may have a faster drive or even better processor.

thanks i changed the topic but as i said if i have the laptop show on hd tv with HDMI cable and go to capture with vdub and dazzle the jumping stops im not sure why it does it when its not plugged in and stops when something like that is.. as the harddrive and stuff is fine just something is up

What are you capturing from. You sure are not capturing direct from the tv. I guess there is just a coincidence there.

The hard drive could well be fine. 720*480 requires significantly more information to be captured that 640*480. Your hard drive needs to work more. Your CPU needs to work more. You only have one drive in the laptop and the OS will also be trying to read/write to that at the same time. I also assume that your GF's laptop is NOT the same model as yours.

lol u cant cap from the tv dude this laptop has a HDMI out so if u dont wanna use the laptop mon u can use TV what i am saying is if i dont have the vga or hdmi in and open vdub and go to cap with my dazzle on the 720 settings it shakes and jumps but then i can switch to 640 and its fine i go back to 720 and it jumps again but then if i have vga or hdmi cable/ it would be a second monitor the shaking and jumping stops

If you want to laugh then fine but for a new member you take the help that is given without any arrogant remarks.

Let someone else contribute here. I am done.

What happens if you capture with the Dazzle software?

Here's your answer:

i can record at 640x480 fine just cant do the 720x480

Dude, you don't have a fast enough computer. If I try to count the number of posters that are moaning because they can't capture quality using their laptops I would run out of numbers. Capturing is one of the most demanding things you can ask a computer to do. The laptop concept is portability, not performance and that has never changed.

You are way underpowered. It's great for running a word processing program and e-mail, but forget serious video editing and capturing.

If you post the specs of your laptop you are using I can guarantee that it's great for running a word processing program and e-mail, but forget video editing and capturing.

Before we see his specs, and just as a reference using my laptop, I can easily capture MPEG2 720x576 @ 9000kbps, HDD 120GB 5400rpm, dual core, 1.83GHz processor.

In VirtualDub turn off the audio playback while capturing. Disable the audio/video re-sync options. Don't use any compression on the audio, save as uncompressed PCM. Use a fast video codec like HuffYUV. In addition to that check all the things in this guide:

https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/104098-Why-does-your-system-drop-frames

Once you have the computer capturing without dropped frames you can look at re-enabling some of the other options.

i dont have a prob with dropping frames read before u post plz

When I read:

okay i have a dazzle dvc 100, you are able to record at 720x480 but when i go to record on that my screen jumps a little

I guessed that meant you were dropping frames. But since you can't state your problem clearly, and your an *******, I won't bother trying to help you.

Brian...in your own words to DB83 above:

lol damn dude u getting mad over nothing, anyways peace out then

Yes, you are underpowered. With tweaking you may get your unit to capture, but I also said in my post that any serious video editing won't work on your unit.

Your wrong dude this laptop even tho I can't cap in 720x480 cause of something is wrong, I have no problem doing vids an and even on my girlfriends laptop which is lower specs, lol you really need to give it up I have a youtube partnership I am just having this problem and u can't read or u could see with out a second screen added the text jumps a lil with another screen added with the vga or hdmi cable it stops which means more power and crap is being used to send info to second screen so dude just don't reply here anynore the laptop is not underpowered to capture with a dazzle

Check all important settings for capture:

PAL /NTSC
frames per second
resolution

You will find them inside the device driver settings AND the capture program. The capture resolution must match your destination requirements.

A destination profile (see below)

A good capture software gives you some sort of destination selection, that limits the available resolution settings, i.e.
VCD (Video CD), SVCD, DVD and so on.
Valid DVD resolution are 702(720)x480 for NTSC or 702(720)x576 for PAL. Your Display you use for controlling the capture application must have equal or (better) higher resolution setting, because the preview window and the player needs that available space on the screen.

The TV does not support all resolutions, that the notebook GPU supports, but DVD resolution is always supported. Check the display settings on your NB if there is a special TV Display setting available.
Check the functionality with a software DVD Player (Power DVD or equal) and a good original DVD. The DVD playback from the Notebook on the TV must look equal to a attached standalone DVD Player. If not, something is wrong with the setup.
