VIdeo Capture Issue

I am capturing some short clips through firewire. When playing the tape through video capture, it looks and sounds good. During capture the audio and video is a little broken up. After capture the video looks good but the audio is horribly broken and scratchy.

I have tried using different cameras, different cables, and capturing to different hard drive with the same result. THis is a new problem with nothing having changed in my set up or with my computer.

Could it be the sound card? I am not sure of the impact of the sound card on capturing. The system presently uses the motherboard for processing sound.

I appreciate any ideas or assistance.

Just a wild suggestion here when I had a similar situation when capturing my HDV tape....
I ran my "crap cleaner" and "spybot" and didnt' realize how much junk had accumulated on my drive and once cleaned up the audio and video captured correctly.

I had reinstalled the operating system a few weeks ago and I do not believe I turned the spybot back on. What is crap cleaner?

THings are well. I never would have guessed that spyware was the problem.

People who put this crap on our machines should be shot.

Yes it could be a sound card issue.

Did the "spybot" solve your capture problems?

"Crap Cleaner" is the real name of a FREE download a computer repair shop installed on my "internet"computer about a year ago. It is a utility that cleans up all kinds of junk on your drive(s) according to how you set it up....
I run it about once a week on my email/internet machine and also on my "video" computer because I do occassionally go online with that one and even though its rare I had managed to pick up a lot of junk that was messing up my Vegas captures. I love free "repairs" that work!
Good luck,
