A couple of problems capturing with my g200 in Win98 an WinXP

[sidneysides]

I have just upgraded my system and am now having trohuble with capturing in both win98 and xp

I can capture OK in Win98, but as I am capturing to convert to DVD, I need 48000khz audio. When I select audio compression, it only goes up to 44100khz. Now my soundcard supports thsi, as I've had it working before (Soundblaster 128 PCI), but whatever I do (installing the drivers, disabling stuff), I still can't get the option to choose 48000.

Anyway, in Windows XP.....
I have been using this for ages to capture, using a the patch file to enable MJPEG support, but now I've got a new system and I've reformatted I can't get it to work properly. I CAN selct audio 48000, but sometimes it captures fine, the capture again and NO FRAMES are captured. This happens with AVI-IO.
I know this should work, as I used it with my old system for months. Could it be my new board and chip?
Anyone else got these problem

System specs?

I can capture 48000 khz audio with my G200 and Win98, (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz soundcard) capturing in Premiere. In fact, I can ONLY capture 704x480, 48000 without dropped frames in Premiere. AVIIO, Virtualdub, no dice. Probably because of my VIA-chipset motherboard.

I use Videotools to capture 352x240, 44100 for VCDs. If DVD is my goal, I use Premiere.

I tried a dual boot system once, half Win98, half Win2k. My idea was that I'd capture my source material in win98 and then edit/render in Win2k. Didn't work. Win2k wouldn't read the Matrox MJEGs, I assume because of the hardware-codec non-support in W2k. Doesn't matter now, since I frameserve my edited projects to TMPGEnc for DVD encoding.

Sorry, but getting the G200 to work in Win2k is a crapshoot in the purest sense. You didn't say what you were upgrading from or to, but I'd guess that whatever delicate balance of system resources and drivers you had before is now gone. Especially if you switched from an Intel-chipset board to VIA. Gotta find a new balance or try a 450 eTV. At least THOSE have Win2k/XP support.
