While I am capturing video with Vrgas Capture, my sound is statict and somewhat distorted; but when I play it back from the timeline, it is fine. Any ideas?
A lot of this is due to the fact that capturing video is a VERY processor intensive task. There may just not be enough processor power left to deliver a good audio preview. I have an 866MHz P3 and when i capture the audio preview is very choppy and delayed by about half a second. About the only thing i use the audio preview for is during cueing to make sure that the sound is there and to help find the right spot on the tape. Then i turn off the audio preview while i'm capturing and just listen through the little monitor speaker on the camcorder.
Yes I have the same static audio capture problems. But on my 350MHz PII I have to turn off audio *and* video preview to avoid dropped frames. So I've got other things to worry about :-)
