I have followed the forum on Fasttrak - I have a "true" (no hack) Fasttrak 66 and can not get rid of the crackling noise. I have an ISA-based sound card, cleared the PCI bus . . .
If I accept that the Via chipset is to blame I have two choices:
A new MB or go SCSI. A new MB will be cheaper but SCSI would be fun to play with. Will my Via chipset limit me if I go with a SCSI RAID set-up?
Output from my RR is great if I stay with Matrox MJPEG. Unfortunately I need to run my video out of Power Point and for some reason using the Matrox MJPEG causes Power Point to pause for 5 to 10 seconds while it "thinks about" the video slide. This is a problem when I'm trying to give a smooth presentation. Using software codecs does not cause any pause in Power Point. Unfortunately the software codecs I've used to date (I'm a novice) look terrible. Which is why I'm looking at uncompressed video.
