I saw a posting a while back that made brief mention of installing DirectX 9.x to ensure better luck with capturing video.
Can anyone confirm or deny whether this would be a positive influence? A neutral influence?
I have Movie Studio 3.0, and I'm running on a 1.9 Ghz CPU machine with 1 gig of memory, with everything extraneous shut down via EndItAll. I'm seeing the same sort of capture issues I saw with VideoFactory 2.0 on a much less powerful machine. (Capture will run for a while, then I stop it and it says "No video captured"; lots of dropped frames; issues with interacting with my Firewire drive, etc.)
I've worked around this by doing capture with a freebie copy of ULEAD that I got with my FireWire card, so I'm not looking to spend a lot of time diagnosing capture. But, I was curious enough to ask.
Thanks.
