*sigh*<\/p>\n
Adobe Premiere only captures from DV sources. My SAA7130 capture card isn’t recognised by it.<\/p>\n
AvidFreeDV is the same.<\/p>\n
VirtualDub disconnects from the capture device when I try and change the capture resolution. And when I reconnect it resets to 320*240 anyway. Capture output files contain no video.
\nAttempting to capture with any compression crashes the capture system.<\/p>\n
WinDVR doesn’t capture the audio due to the RealTek onboard video card. I can reinstall a separate soundcard, but few of them work on XP and none have the extra I\/Os I need.<\/p>\n
WinDVD Creator crashes when trying to connect.<\/p>\n
When it doesn’t crash instantly, Windows Movie Maker won’t capture in anything but WMV.<\/p>\n
So far my best option looks to be to capture in WinDVR using mpeg2 compression and capture and sync the audio manually afterwards.<\/p>\n
And attempting to simply connect to the card in MPC bluescreens the machine.<\/p>\n
REALLY getting pissed off with this. I bought cameras and playback units so I could actually do something with recorded video. It’s been nearly 4 fucking years and upgrading to XP has stopped me from doing any of it! VirtualDub worked PERFECTLY on Windows 2000. Not a single frame dropped at full PAL resolution, directly from my SVHS playback unit.<\/p>\n
I can’t even connect to the fucking video source on XP without something crashing or having to physically replace hardware, let alone getting to the point of TRYING to record it!<\/p>\n
Am I seriously going to have to BUILD a Windows 2000 machine just for recording video? Not even for editing it; just recording it??<\/p>\n
I’d happily farm the capture out to someone else at this stage except the files produced would by several gigabytes a piece, and getting them onto this machine to edit them would be an equal nightmare!<\/p>\n
