Capturing is awefull.

When i capture video from my camera there no audio and the video breaks up with crackling sounds every few seconds.
Ive used Vegas Video before and it worked fine but since last use Ive formated and added another hardrive.
Im using a PCI firewire with a Sony digital handicam.Im running VV3a with Win98SE. My computer is a AMD 1ghz with 630mbs Ram. The drive im trying to put video to is a Maxtor 140gb.
Like I said it worked fine before but now it will not capture good qualtiy.
Any ideas to what may be my trouble?
-Also I have defraggeed my drives.Thanks all

Try capturing to your C: drive. If that works, it is prob the install of your new drive for whatever reason.

I use a laptop (sometimes) in the worst possible config: 4200 rpm HD and ACPI. Thing is, it works (scratch your head, I'm scratching mine) and it really should not.

I'm no expert, but if you have win 98se, and you installed an (internal) 140gb
hard drive, plus 630 megs of ram.
You may have exceeded the max. for your operating system.
I'm running windows Me, and the max for a hard drive is like 120gb,
and the max for ram is 512mb.
like I said I'm no expert, but that might have something to do with your
problem.

I tried to capture to all my drives and no success. My two drives are both partitioned into a total of four.
I didnt mention this in my last post but when I try to replay any video Ive captured I get a blue screen and my computer locks up.
Any other ideas folks?
Thanks.

Have you enabled DMA on the hard drives? That's #1 via Device Manager.

What's your IRQ distribution like?

Also have you installed the proper hard drive driver?

What's your motherboard?

- I have the DMA enabled on my hardrives.
- There are no conflicts in my IRQs
- Hardrive drivers are up todate.
- I installed the Via 4-1 Drivers.
- I tried the VIA Bus Master PCI IDE utility.
- I'm unable to give my Capture card its own IRQ.
- My BIOS does not have a PCI latency setting.
- My motherbard is a MSI K7T pro 2 (BIOS has been updated)
- My computer is a AMD 1ghz with 655mb of RAM
After all these settings my VV3.a still has choppy video and no audio when capturing.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled both my Capture card and the Vegas Video.
Any other ideas I can try?
This program used to run fine but since I formatted and installed a new 120gb hardrive I cannot capture video correctly.

Borske: Do you have any MGI software installed?

No Pelvis. I don't have any MGI software installed.
