Can't achieve 29fps on T-Bird 1ghz w/ ATA-100 Drive :(
I tried HuffyYUV today with my new Athlon T-Bird 1ghz w/ 256mb of pc133 ram and a brand new 45gb ATA-100 drive.. Unfortunatly it's not capturing a stable 29fps with 704x480. The frame rate meter in VirtualDub says its getting about 27fps, not that great considering i used to get 24fps with my old Celeron 433. The CPU usage is about 90%. Sometimes it would just capture for a few seconds and then notice that the status numbers to the right have stopped moving.. So I just reinitiate the capture.. A few times it blue screened too. If i set HuffyYUV to the fast settings its a little better but too many frames are still dropped. 352x480 is no problem at all, but i could get that on my old celeron 433 also. There must be something wrong but I don't know exactly. I noticed that my drives are listed weird under the control panel in system devices.. They don't have the DMA checkbox in them, but I do have them enabled in the Highpoint BIOS (DMA settings for drives i mean, im not exactly sure if its affecting windows or not).
These are my cache settings:
I'm pretty sure VirtualDub overrides one of the settings on here, it had a panel where you could set the buffer for something.
The current motherboard im using now is an Abit KT7-RAID, I had the board and everything installed by a shop, im not exactly sure if they installed the VIA 4-in-1 drivers, but im sure the CD the board came with had them, I don't know if they're updated or not. If anyone knows how to find out if they are installed please let me know. Cause i've heard the 4-in-1 drivers come with a Bus Mastering driver that increases performance.
Another problem i'm having.. On my old Abit BH6 board, whenever I booted into windows my Line-In started buzzing an annoying sound into my speakers, it would continue until I muted it or initiated capture mode and then exited. Now with my new KT7, nothing comes in through the Line-In, but all my regular sounds are messed up.. Like playing an MP3 will sound very weird or anything that uses sound. The distortions go away when I initiate the capture mode, weird. Nothing is sharing an IRQ with the sound card, as for the Marvel G400, only a few things like the SCSI card are being shared with it.
