A video capture issue - PLEASE help.

[TechMaster]

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

Is this just occuring in the capture window or does your captured file also look chopped? There are a lot of switches to set for preview and it depends on the application. What do you use to capture? If you have a PAL syustem you might have something set for NTSC the you haven't seen yet. You could try to capture a smaller frame, say 320 by whatever. I am slowly figuring out how to capture with a 1394 DV card and it is a learning experience to be sure.

the file is also distorted - and all the settings are set to PAL system...

I guess it is a timing/FPS problem becouse the movie looks as if 2 frames are overlapping or one is sliced
