  • Capture in MSPro 6 Stalls?

    I've been trying to capture some footage on my Marvel G200-TV for a short, 20 minute project a friend of mine left me, but I have run into a little problem. I enter the Video Capture program OK and everything is setup correctly, so I begin capturing. After 3 or 4 clips capturing fine suddenly the frame counter at the bottom of the window will stop updating on every frame. If you stop the capture and playback the file the video will have stopped updating at the point the counter started acting up, but the file will contain perfect audio. What's strange is this; if I play any file after this capture error occurs the next capture will be fine, but if I try to go directly to capturing the next file it will have the same problem. Has anyone experienced this? I'm not overly worried, as I am doing an upgrade soon (processor), so I will probably reformat the system in the hope to resolve this and a few other issues. Figured I'd ask, though, just in case it reoccurs afterwards.
    Thanks!

    In the video capture record area there is a second tab. Set the buffers down to 32. It used to work with MSPRO5.

      To me this sounds like a signal drop would hang the Windows capture subsystem - a known problem which happens with all capture boards. If you use AVI_IO (http://www.nct.ch/multimedia/avi_io) you find a setting there named "detect signaldrop after # of frames" set this to a value of 3. There is a free trial available at the site mentioned.
