Marvel G200 Capturing / Premiere Issues

[David Pritchett]

Hi,

I used to own an Iomega Buz, which I used to capture video and edit in
premiere.

This worked only ok... Often times the buz would hang my system, drop
frames needlessly, etc.

So, I purchased a Marvel G200.

The video looks great (the mjpeg compressed) that I capture..
However, it's nearly impossible to use the footage that I capture in
Premiere because it takes seconds to decompress each frame as I scan
through the video in premiere.

I was capturing compressed (mpeg) footage with the buz too, but never
had any problems like this. Scanning through footage in premiere was
very smooth.

I know I could adjust the quality of the captured mpeg a little, but
then it would look even worse than what my Buz could capture.

Anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Thank you.

P.S. I know I could just capture full frame, but that's not what I want to do at this point.

David

Add these lines to your "Prem50.ini" file, in the Premiere folder:

[Override]
NoDirectShow=1

[codec]
keepopen=dmb1


This should solve your timeline playback/scrubbing problems. You should have full motion video in your monitor window and on your TV screen, if you have the Marvel Video Out plugged into your TV.

You might try capturing with the PC-VCR or another capture program called AVI_IO (which I can't live without).
