Re: TV Capture Cards - 10 - Then Freezes

Dear Andrew,
Thanks for taking the time to respond to my message.
I have all the current drivers and the Windows Encoder installed and I
continue to have the same problem - TV card video only runs for about 10 or
15 frames and then freezes.
I have to restart the computer to get another 10 or 15 frames of video &
audio.
I have installed a program called DScaler and with DScaler the exact same
problem is experienced.
With DScaler I am given an option to reset the capture card and each time I
"reset" the capture card it runs perfectly for only about 10 or 15 frames
and then freezes.
I understand that the DScaler program does not use the capture card driver -
it uses a driver included with the DScaler program.
MSI TV Anywhere, ATI TV Wonder and Hauppauge TV Card all have the same issue
on my machine.
Since I cam able to boot to Windows ME on the same computer (MB, memory,
etc.) it must not be a compatibility issue as far as the "hardware" is
concerned?
It seems to be specific to Windows XP.
I will try anything to try to remedy the problem - poor me no capture for
now!
Thanks!

Windows ME doesnt run the same security as xp does,hence it may allow the
user to do things xp wont,or windows vista,etc...With the ati capture
card,you
need the drivers from ati,then download windows media encoder + its
utilities,
WMCAP lets you view video,as does the encoder (capture audio/video).Both
might be frustrating at first,you need to play with them to get the right
mode
going but its not hard,WMCAP will be the easyist.

Hi,
Running XP and I am unable to get any one of several TV capture cards to
function properly.
MSI & ATI cards all give me the same problem - audio is OK - however,
video
perfect for about 10 to 15 frames then video freezes - I have to reboot
computer to get 10 or 15 more frames - if I don't reboot when I close and
reopen capture software I get no audio and blue screen for video only.
When I boot to Windows ME the same cards that will not function under XP
work fine?
I have updated drivers and have tried 3 cards.
Currently I am still messing with MSI TV Anywere & ATI TV Wonder.
Both of these cards have worked on my XP system in the past.
Formatted & reinstalled clean XP - no change?
1 gig memory, AMD 3200 xp - MB is MSI 7021 - RAID (using on board)
Appreciate any suggestions!
