Help. Somebody. I'm in trouble.

I am brand new to Computer Editing and bought a matrox G400 TV last weekend, however, when I tried to capture video from the VCR using AVID Cinema, the picture kept jerking every few seconds. I got rid of all tsrs defragged my hard drive and stood ten feet away from the machine as it was capturing, still the same problem.

System: ATHLON 650; 256MB RAM; 30GB/66ATA drive with MBenchmark reporting 15.8MB/s. The clip captures with audio, (which is smooth by the way, no jumps when the video jerks). Somebody, help.

How is your system organized? A complete discription helps a ton when it comes to troubleshooting what's wrong.

Are you trying to save your videos to a partition of your boot drive? That can cause all manner of problems.

No, the drive is not split, it's just one large partition. I am running Windows 98.

I would not to use that Avid Cinema at all. Try better AVIEdit from here:

At least, it works.
