I just got Creator 9 and when I captor video from my Sony camcorder it skips during play back. I have a GeForce 2 card and when tested it shows to be okay. What am I doing wrong or will have to get a new video card?

Your video card will not cut it in EMC 9.  It is 7 year old technology and does not support most of the features in DirectX 9.  You need to upgrade.

That's what I figured. Time to move on.

You can get an inexpensive AGP card that will work well with EMC 9.  My old Radeon 9800 Pro works well.  They have much better cards than that, for less than $100.

I bought a G-Force FX5200 and it now captures the video with out skips but only in LP mode. Should I of gotten another board? Comp USA said this was what I need for old style mother board. What I am trying to is convert some old vidio to DVD and inprove the play back quality. Some of the VCR tapes are 20 years old. Can I change the caputre settings to make them better. I adjusted the Sharpness to almost the max and they still don't look much better. Would adjusting something like the Gama (what ever that is) or something else make them better?

Gamma correction is usually brightness and contrast levels

Unfortunately you can't improve much past the input quality (maybe you can with top-end software like Adobe Premiere but I can't say for certain)
