E Reed Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 OK, I got started fine. Even saved 3 VHS tapes to my computer.

Jim_Hardin Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 I split this off since your problem had absolutely nothing in common with the Topic you cut into… Sounds like your PC is the problem, please list your specs like I have in my signature block.

Jim_Hardin Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 HDD free space??? Defragged lately? Your Lap seems pretty good for this but any background programs combined with a fragmented HDD can drag it to its’ knees. Didn’t see anything about your Video Chip in your specs… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E Reed Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 HDD free space??? Defragged lately? Your Lap seems pretty good for this but any background programs combined with a fragmented HDD can drag it to its’ knees. Didn’t see anything about your Video Chip in your specs… C drive (OS) 64.9 GB free of 116 GB D drive (data) 293 GB free of 334 GB Laptop is not used very often, as my desktop is the machine I use. Laptop is only in use when I leave home for more than a few days which is not very often. Not being very computer savy, i am not sure where or how to look for Video Chip info.

cdanteek Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 In W-7 right click the desktop, left click Screen Resolution, left click advanced settings, opens the Adapter tab. Post the Adapter string and Dedicated Video Memory.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_Hardin Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Nothing jumping out… Most laps dont have 2 drives Is your D:/ drive an external? If so, you should avoid using it for Capture as they often cannot keep up. It is OK to move the captured file to it later and then to work off of the External. But during capture it is critical to have nothing slowing down the data stream. Along those lines, try another capture… Make sure you defrag the C:\ drive and shut down other programs during capture. Also change the default, File Preferences Render, to Software: If you have some DVD RWs, they are great for testing! Be sure to include that info that cdanteek was asking for to make sure we are not overlooking something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
E Reed
OK, I got started fine. Even saved 3 VHS tapes to my computer.
Noticed as it was transferring, the audio was jerky and slightly
lower in pitch. Women sounded like men and mens voices were very deep
sounding. Burned the files to seperate DVD's, and the same thing.
Am I doing something wrong ? Not going to do any more until I can
find a cure or fix.
Computer is a laptop made by ASUS. One year old with Windows 7.
Oh yah, the tapes playback perfect on my TV.
Regards
Reed
