Help with Canopus advc 100 ?

[4nzix]

Just picked up the canopus advc-100 today , and I am having trouble finding a decent program for Mpeg-1 capture. The best luck I have had so far is with Ulead Video Studio 6 , but this program stops my capture after approx. 10 minutes with a msg saying "flushing dv buffer" .

Anybody know how to disable this , or a better program for capturing to mpg 1 with the canopus ?

thank you in advance .

Most of us useing a device like that, capture to DV and then convert later.

How are you capturing to mpeg1 using a DV/firewire port?

What is yr computer config ?
ADVC do not have any driver except for the f/w driver connections....

I am using it w/ MSP6.5, so far not much critical problems except occasion
drop frames...less than 1%

The ADVCs aren't really meant to be used for real time MPEG capture, they're meant to capture/convert to DV. Even the 1394 which is marketed as a DV and MPEG1 & 2 capture device only does it through software, which is probably why that's the one the get's the most complaints. That said, they include lite versions of WinProducer and VegasVideo with the 1394 so maybe one of them would work better for you.

PS: Sharudin, try DVIO or Scenalyzer live and I bet you go to 0% dropped frames.

I agree w/ you about f/w for DV...it is not suppose to be a mpeg realtime capture..

btw...what is the difference between dvio, scenalyzer and msp6.5 via ulead videocapture

[Bondiablo]

DVIO and Scenalyzer are both simple little programs (though Scenalyzer still has some nice features), not bloated resource hogs like the Ulead stuff.

Even with my current system, which is pretty fast, I could get Ulead VS5 to drop frames if I REALLY tried, not so with those two.
