Video capture and ATI AIW problems

Besides the usual ATI All In Wonder problems is anyone aware of capture probs with the AIW.

I'm trying to rerecord my clips to get best possible quality from VHS tape into VV3. All I have at the moment is an ATI All In Wonder card for input. When I recorded using ATI software on the machine that actually has the ATI card, when I copied the AVI file to my PC that has VV3 I can hear the audio but not see the video. So I tried installing VV3 on the PC w/ the ATI card and VV3 can see and hear the clip. Any ideas why the other PC couldn't see the video?

So I figured no problem, I'll just try to capture the video in to VV3 right on the PC with the ATI card. Tried several different preference settings and keep keep from VV3 a message saying System low on resources can't hang. Windows reports 73% resources free. Just rebooted. Same results. System is Pent II 400, 256Mg RAM plenty of free disk space and of course the ATI video card. Also 95 MG RAM allocated in the dynamic RAM preview in VV3

Any words of wisdom here?

Thanks
Todd

I recently gave up on my AIW but I can feel your frustration.

Are you patching your sound through the AIW breakout cable? If yes and you can hear audio but get no video, make sure you have the correct video source marked (composite, s-video, etc.) when you capture.

Hope that doesn't oversimplify a frustrating problem.
