i just installed my g400 marvel 4 days ago, and am having problems with the capture. i am running at a res of 1600x1200 16-bit and viewing with mjpeg video source as opposed to rgb 24-bit etc, and capturing with mjpeg (no recompression) at 704x576 25 frames/sec with avi_io and audio at cd qual.
when i capture i start losing frames after about a minute. it isn't a serious amount, a 100 frames gone out of 14000, but my old all in wonder didn't lose anywhere near that much when capturing at 720x480 at 25 frames/sec - huffyuv. i thought the marvel did hardware encoding and that i could use my comp at the same time it was capturing without losing frames.
i am running win ME on an athlon 1Ghz kt7-raid system with 384mb pc-133 ram and am capturing on a ata-100 maxtor 82gig hard disk which is used only for capturing, which is my primary master on the ata-100 ide port.
i am sure that it is not that the disk or the system is too slow for the data stream to the disk since i used to capture with huffyuv codec on my aiw at 720x480 which gave me file sizes of 15gb for 45 mins as opposed to 6.5 with the mjpeg codec
i deleted all the matrox files and installed video tools 1.54 and power desk 555 and a lot of problems have gone but i am still losing frames in avi_io and the playback is jumpy.
would i get less dropped frames if i got a scsi hard disk?
any suggestions as to how i can stop the loss of frames, and making the playback smoother would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.
