    G450eTV Frame skip

    For the last year I have tried what I think is just about everything to solve my problem but alas... The source of my grief is a videocard : the G450 eTV .
    My misgivings occur precisely thirty seconds after playing back captured video. No matter what software I use to playback (Adobe Premier, Ulead, Intervideo, Windows Movie Maker., Windows Media...) everything turns Parkinsonian (choppy playback occurs). During capture no frames are lost (or so is indicated).
    I've had a more computer savvy friend work on the problem. He tried several driver version including different vid tools (2.04 to 3.0), downloaded the latest inf and chipset utilities from Intel (since I have a 845e chipset type motherboard), also updated my Windows XP Pro (SP1) and Media Player 9 with the latest fixes, installed DirectX 9.0a, he formatted my Hard Drives to NTFS using 4096 clusters ... nothing. I always shut down all programs when capturing (including those loaded at start up) and tried inserting diskette in ¾ drive to see if that makes a difference.

    I’ve exchanged several messages with the Matrox Forum moderator who answered “Its rather strange - if this was an issue then every G450etv client would post / email/ or call it in” and proposed several solutions none of which worked : http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/For...ML/006484.html
    Before moving on to more final and drastic mesures I’ve come to you’all... Has anyone experienced the same problem and has anyone found a solution?

    - 512MB PC2600 DDR Ram,
    - 2 Maxtor 7200 RPM ATA 100 HDs (2nd used for capture only)
    - G450 eTV
    - Windows XP PRO

    1. what format are you capturing to? MPEG or AVI? If AVI what compression? If MPEG what settings?

    2. have you optimized your OS for video editing/capture?

        Dr. Mordrid...

        Forgot to ad that on G450eTV can capture in MPEG2 or RGB (avi) at 352x240 only... which is kind of small. But also with avi at 352x240 I get another problem... glitches at about every ten seconds... I tried AVI_IO at 704x480 with no compression. There are no glitches but I get terrible interlace lines even on static shots.
