Laggy Video

[Reflexz]

I had just bought a new Roxio HD PVR. I thought the quality would look nice with 720p when I recorded. When I actually edited the video in Videowave, it was laggy and choppy. It would hang every 5 seconds and you can occasionally see rainbow lines sometimes. I'm not a techy geek or someone that doesn't know where the escape key is, but I want to know how to fix this problem.

My PC Specs aren't that great but it would be above the minimum requirements.

PC SPECS:

Procesor: AmD Turon 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 2.00 Ghz

Ram: 3.00 GB

PC Name: Satellite L305D

OP: 32 bit.

P.S. Maybe this will help or not but the bitrate in the settings is 15000

VW relies on using your Video Card for processing... Of course Laps don't have one, sooo let's try this:

 

In VW, Tools - Options - Render Using - Software

 

See what that does for it

Here is some more info if you need it or not

I put the bitrate into 6500 and it is still 720p right?

Because it said on youtube that bitrates for 720p are 5,000.

When I do use it, it starts being all laggy but after I close the capture application, it starts working again.

I just want to know how to make it not lag after I dragged the video into the timeline.

P.S. Why is it when I capture, it is like its HD but when I upload it turned into 480p?

I took your First post to read that VW was laging during Edit!

 

Now you indicate Edit is OK but you see the normal lag during play???

 

Did you even try what I suggested?

I did try on what you did but it made it worse

I also meant that when I did put the bitrate to 6500 it was only lagging at some parts at VW when it was in the timeline.

When I captured the gameplay, it was fine with no lag but when I put the video in VW, it started having 5 second gaps.

I did do the software thing btw but it showed negative results, so I'm sorry for that.

P.S. I closed all applications and there was no lag, what happens if I use Audacity to make Live Commentaries? Can it work?
