Hi, I am new to all this video editing stuf so please can anyone help.

I have just started taking about 100 hours of old camcorder tapes from 1996 and trying to store and edit them on my pc.

I have succesfully put my digital tapes on capturing with adobe 6 and converting with tmpgenc 100% perfect.

I have a problem when using my pinacle video capture card conected to my video.

What hapens is i get perfect video and then a little jump and then more jumps i think it has to do with the tracking signal -- the jumps are totally waising my tapes - im woried that all my video i have recorded of my children may be ruined.

when playing tapes on a diferent video or on original camcorder the results are worse rather than jumping u can lose colour and or picture..

If there is software to clean up the picture or header for the tracking please tell me

By the way for people who nee a driver for XP or 2000 for a pinacle pctv card goto

just cut and paist

the pinacle card is copying video great from other video tapes so its 100% problem with my tapes - i have tried fast forwarding and rewinding tapes to slacken or tighten them it seemed to help slightly

Any sugestions please post thx in advance
