[Zilwer]

Hi ! This is my first post, and i am a newbee at this, so go easy on me ok!
I have a p3 500, and a avermedia tv-card98 (with remote)
and i have conected a philips dvd 751 to the card, and i am using virtualdub and divx codecs, but my prob is to much frame drops when i capture from a dvd, and if i have the audio on the cd quality, then the hole movie will hack, so if anyone could tell me how to make lesser framedrops and get better audio without loss of quality pls help me

loveo Zilwer,

I use a 500mhz P3 to capture MPEG4 (DivX) real time with no appreciable dropped frames (about 1 every 30 seconds or so). What resolution are you capturing in? You will only be able to capture 320x240 using the DivX codec in real time and that is assuming you are using the 3.11 DivX codec. If you are using the newer 4.x version, it is currently slower and I don't know if you can even capture 320x240 with it on a 500mhz machine.

If you have a desire to capture at a higher resolution, then capture using the Huffy CODEC and then re-encode to DivX using something like VirtualDub.

I am intending to make a vcd out of it so i use 352x288 resolution, but like you said i can use the huffy, but how should i do to be able to have cd quality on the audio without any loss of preformance?
