Glitchy Recording

[Snpdragn]

When I burn from VCR to my external DVD Writer, the recording isn't smooth and continuous. It's very glitchy. I have an ACER Netbook, Win 7-64 bit, 1.30 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, HP DVD Writer that has an A/C power plug. What am I doing wrong? I didn't have any software installation problems and the program seems to be running fine. The VCR image seen in the software is seamless until I go to Capture Now.

Capture first to your hard drive and then burn to DVD.

 

Burning directly to DVDs using Plug&Burn is a good way to create lots of coasters

 

BTW, I assume you have a dual core machine otherside that 1.3 Ghz CPU will never work

Thanks for your help! Processor was the issue. Will try on another computer, hopefully with better luck.

Question though, unless I missed it, the software didn't mention needing a Dual Core processor. An Intel Celeron M ULV 743 Processor isn't fast enough? Could it be my video card?

Video work is CPU and Video Card intensive. The Celeron doesn't have the horses.

I don't think a Celeron is going to work, but to give it the best possible chance, turn Off everything that is running!

 

Use the DV HQ capture setting.

 

Defrag the HDD before you start.

 

Make no attempt at Plug & Burn.

 

Of course make sure you are using AC power.

 

Give that a try.
