I have an Asus V6800 Deluxe card and when I try to capture a video I am getting a "sliced"/"overlapping" frames (a portion of the image is shifted/sliced - an object is looks as if it was slicsed in half and half of it was moved to one side of the screen while the other part stayed on it's right place....)

I have NO dropped frames and I am capturing a full frame movie using Asus Capture drivers Ver. 1.1.0.0
I use VirtualDub 1.4C my broadcast system is PAL-BDGHI (also used AsusLIVE 4.6b) / 16Bit / 640x480
I am also capturing to a clean partition

My system is a P3-733@133Mhz (coppermine) on an Asus P3V4X
256MB 133Mhz RAM
20GB DimondMax 7200RPM Maxtor Drive
my CPU load at capture is ~3%

---- HardDisk Speed / CPU load / RAM isn't the issue
Nor there is any problem with the comnnections/cables/capture card - I am getting a clean live feed. - the problem occures only when I capture

I think it have smth. to do with the frame rates /Other capture settings - but I am not sure - I have tried capturing at 25 and 24 FPS - all resulted the same problem.

Plase help

thanks :)

Possibly the problem is with the codec you're using to capture.. could be its incompatible with something or simply needs to be reinstalled. Try capturing with the huffyuv loss less codec, MJPEG and the new DivX 3.2.2 Beta with scene detect

Does the problem occur at all of them? For DivX you will probably need to capture at 320x240 instead of 640x480

It is more noticble at higher resolutions - but I don't think that I have HDD/RAM/CPU problrm

640x480x16 @ 25FPS

my CPU load is ~2-6% (P3-733)
~60MB of FREE ram - I have 256MB @133
My HDD can do ~25MB/s on my empty-"capture"-partition but I only need ~15MS/s
