I'd greatly consider a mobo upgrade, but I'm running a RAID stripe with the on board controller...

I have an epox 8kta3+ (kt133a)
1x wd 80G for system drive
2xIBM 40G as A RAID 0 drive for captursing.
and a sblive value for sound
I got quite good captures of some old VHS movies(720x576@25fps)....10-20 dropped frames in 2 hours using a asus geforce deluxe AGP.
But now that I have upgraded to a 8500 I will need a PCI capture card, which will probably pointless until I upgrade my motherboard....nforce 2 or sis 746 are the only candidates for me.
I might go buy a PCI capture card and see how much pain I can endure before I upgrade my mobo....

I don't have any of the codecs you mentioned...where can I get them?Originally posted by Marshmallowman
a 1600XP is quite reaonable but you will have to use a good codec(picvideo, or maybe huffy)
Also, I tried using almost every other codec I could find on my machine...and I came across the Intel 5.1 codec (which was pretty damn good). Capped the video @ 320x240, and hopped in the shower. When I came out, Virtualdub reported like 40 dropped frames (on a 20 min video)...that's acceptable. Then I played it back. Bastards. After 7.5 mins or so, it stuttered.

That Asus A78x nforce 2 board looks HOT!Originally posted by Marshmallowman

flyvideo 3000?
If you want a good card for the $, I serisouly reccomend mine...for $61 shipped. Impressive card. Wish the rest of my system could keep up with it.Comment

huffy may not be the best for you its a lossless codec which will compess 2:1 -3:1 range so you need a reasonably fast/larg Harddrive...but it is free
picvideo is here
its not free but the have free downloadable version for testing(leaves a watermark)
it does not need to much CPU, and compresses very well.
Did you get any codecs/ programs with the card, sometimes the bundled compressor/capture programs can be very well tuned to a particular card and may be your best bet.Comment

Didn't seem to install any codecs that I hadn't seen before. And half the oddball ones don't work right anyway (IYVW or whatever, and one whose name reminds me of RGB).Originally posted by Marshmallowman

I'll give those codecs a try tonight. I kind of WANT a losless compression, so I'll give huffy a shot first. Hopefully my RAID stripe can keep up.Comment

There is some lossless mjpeg ones, and my personal favourite is a slightly lossy mjpeg from picvideo. It gives very nice captures that are not excessively large a couple of Gigs for 2 hours as opposed to 20 g and more for huffy.Comment

I tried mjpeg the other day (looks like i DID have that on my system), and it worked, but choppily.

try different captures res's to see if its a performance issue or something else.(conflict)
as to codecs 1600XP with a kt133 board you are trying to find a compromise between what your 1600 can compress and what you can shovel out to your HDD.
The higher you compress the less hassle for your HDD, but you CPU has to be able to keep up, can you adjust parameters for your mjpeg?
On the winfast site it says the card/software has some mpeg 4 support?, have you tried that.
Its probably not the best capture codec but in your situation it migh be worth a shot.
The WinFast TV2000 XP and the flyvideo 3000 are the 2 I am going to choose from....
The flyvideo is in front because I know I can get linux capture drivers and the philips chip it uses is supposed to give better capture quality(and teletext)
The winfast seems to have good software, and I am intrigued by the mpeg 4 capture mode, but I cannot get any other details about, eg capture chip...etc
what sound card are you using, what happens if you disable sound during capture, does it make any difference.Comment
-
-MPEG 4 seems to work, but it's too lossy for me.
-If I disabled sound during capture, I wouldn't be able to tell if the sound skipped.
-I just tried Huffy, but I'm getting a weird blocky glitch effect a few times a minute. Other than that, it seems fine. But that glitch drives me nuts.Comment

Any other ideas?Comment

Are you running the via 4in1 version 443? I upgraded to it today, and it solved some of my latency issues on a A7V333.Comment
-
Yup. I've been running the 44.3's for a month or so.Comment

Hm....
I got my old MSI K7T Turbo (ktt 133a) in my NLE....
It did capture fulframe PAL with huff for about 40 min untill W2k had to swap something to the boot drive (quantum XE udma 2 something) and it dropped 30 frames in the process
The captured fiml was flawless and in full audio sync upt to the dropp....
Can't really blame that on the mobo....
I'm going to replace that snail drive (It can't even keep up to the 52x CD) and it'l probably go away...
And I still diden't have to do half the tweaking to get the PCTV card to capture that much compared to what ot took to get the RRG to do it on a BX mobo
The PCI bandwith problems is there but they aren't big enough to make any problems....
But I woulden't even try to run a RTx00 card on that mobo
(not to mention that IF i did and I got it to work, Doc would come after me with those darn big guns he have 
)
If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.
