Hello All,
I've been reading the posts for about 1 month now and have really learned a lot. Thanks to all. Now I've got my own problem. Not big, just a huge annouance. Just recently my capture (RRS) starts dropping all frames. It seems to be related to capture compression ratio. At first it would shut down at 13:1 or lower. Couldn't get it to work at all. Now it works OK MOST of the time after updating system bios. Now it starts dropping frames, sometimes at 11:1 and always at 8.3:1 or higher. After a max of 50 or so seconds it just starts dropping all frames. Second capture it starts dropping within 10 seconds. It started when I instaled ATI_IO. I'm not at all blaming ATI_IO, thats just when it started. I use SCSI drives benchmarked at 8.6 MG/sec dedicated for capture. I constantly defrag & my projects are generally very small. (Auditions for my to daughter to send to BC or LA, & demo tapes.) I've totally uninstalled Matrox and reinstalled. No difference. Things are a lot better, since bios update but not how it used to be. (capture at any compression available.) Does anyone have any experience with this problem. I need help on this one.
