Ok, so I bought EMC 8 because I thought it would help me out...and so far it's not bad but there's something wrong.  My video capture card came with InterVideo WinDVD to capture...but everytime I would try to capture, it said the video had copyright information (which most of it doesn't/didn't).  Anyhow so Roxio doesn't seem to have that problem, the problem I have is that the video shows a couple frames here and a couple frames there...the audio however is fine.  After a few minutes it just freezes with no preview.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  The capture card is a USB GV-MDVD2 with a MPEG encoder built into it.  I think maybe that has something to do with the problem but surely there must be a way to fix this?  Does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm in Japan so support for the product is very limited.  If I take it back I will have to pay a high restocking fee.  I tried contacted InterVideo before I bought Roxio but they never wrote me back so I just went ahead and bought Roxio since I had used it in the past.  Anyhow any ideas would be a great help!!  Thanks, -Joe

We will need the details of how you are connecting to your capture card as well as the make/model of that card.

Included some info on your PC too.

Also check for any updates to your Video card. – that solves a lot of problems even though it often does not seem related…

Thanks James,

My capture card is connected through USB.  It is a WDM device.  The model is GV-MDVD2 made by IO-DATA.  I have it connected to a video source through S-Video (I tried composite first but same problems).

My PC is a mini-ITX system running at about 1.3 Ghz with 512GB of RAM and 80GB HD.  USB 2.0 ports.

I checked for updates on the video card, I can't find anything for it unfortunately.  That was the first thing I did since I thought maybe new firmware would help.

You are better off trying to capture with the software that came with the capture card.  EMC 8 will capture if connected by firewire, but your CPU is much lower than the recommended minimum for capturing video with the software.

Really?  What are the minimum requirements?  That's too bad, I need to figure something out as it seems Roxio is my only choice if I can get it to work.  The stock software that came with the card is useless...most I got recorded was 10 seconds before I got a copyright warning.

If it is copyrighted material, No major brand is going to touch it!

Otherwise you should be able to capture with that software and use the files in Roxio.

IO-Data's site does list a CD-ROM as available if you contact them.
