capture

[moab]

I have copied my home movies from vhs tape to dvd on a samsung dvd/vhs player. When I try to import the dvd onto the computer through capture with Roxio 8, the system craps out at 10% of the dvd. The dvd will play on my computer with no problem. I took the same dvd to my dad's who has Roxio 7 and he captured it in minutes. Can any one help me please.

OK, you have an on-board Video chipset; it is probably this one -- Intel® 82915GV Graphics. You can probably confirm that from your purchase receipt. If it is, go here and see if they have updated the drivers for that chipset. With integrated graphics, you may need to run only in software render. In VideoWave or MyDVD, go to the top menu and select tools>options and put the dot next to software render. Try again.

If that doesn't work, you may want to consider adding a real video card. If you decide to do that, make sure you get one that is compatible with your board and preferably one that has 256 on board memory. Form on-line retailers (in the US), you can find one for less than $75. It takes only a few minutes to install one. Follow your owners manual. The tricky part is disabling your on board video in the BIOS if your computer doesn't do it automatically. .

Hello, your were right about my graphics card, i went to the web site and there were 2 new updates and 36 old ones. I tried to read the install, on the read me page of one of them, but i am not to sure what to do or which one to use. I would say that i am not that computer savy. I don't want to do the wrong thing.

Always pick the newest one for your chipset - some sites do have two (one will be drivers, the other utility programs).

6.1 contains

Intel® Q965 Express chipset with "Gen4" graphics capability (2D only)

- IEGD Configuration EDitor (CED) as a standard feature (consolidated release)

- D3D support on Intel® 945G Express chipset and Mobile Intel® 945GM Express

chipset

- Three display capability

- Render scaling

- Rotation support for Microsoft Windows CE*

 

5.1 contains

New Configuration Editor GUI (Beta version, available to qualified OEMs through

your Premier Support account: premier.intel.com) that allows pre-installation

configuration of the IEGD

- Support for Texas Instruments* TFP410 encoder

- Triple Independent Display with External PCI Device

- Overlay Support through new PCF parameter

- Centering & Scaling enhancements for the following:

- Upscaling support for Chrontel* CH7017 & 7308

- EDID LVDS

- Alignment in Clone Mode

- DVO as Primary

- New No_DFB PCF parameter that improves performance in certain situations

- Color Control API on Internal LVDS and External Encoder

- GangDVO (for NS387R encoder)

 

So either version would suit your system, but I'd go for 6.1

V7 and V8 are different in how much is required of your computer and especially your video card. V8 requires a good up to date card/chip. Please post your computer specs but especially your video card information. In the mean time, update the drivers for the card and install the latest version of Microsoft DirectX 9c.

I have a hp Pavillion a1123c Desktop, the operating system is Microsoft Windows XP Media center 2005 service pack 2, I have Microsoft DirectX 9c, I am using Internet explorer 6, The computer has a Pentium4 630 (P) HT 3.0 GHz, 800 MHz front side bus, Intel 915GV, Asus PTGD-LA (Goldfish3-GL8E), 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, 250 GB SATA 7200 rpm, 16x DVD(+/-) R/RW DL lightscribe drive, PCI K56flex data/fax modem, Intergrated with up to 128 MB allocated video memory, Intergrated High Definition audio Realtek ALC 880 chipset, Inetgrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface.

 

I hope this will help solve my problem

 

Just to let you know, I tried to capture a short dvd today and 8 seconds of a 26 second dvd made it into roxio before it stopped.
