Leadtek Deluxe TV2000XP troubles. Help!
Posted: Tue May 25, 2004 7:03 pm
Ok, I finally decided to get me a TV tuner to convert my slowly degrading VHS tapes to a digital file. Well, after spending a hour trying to get the very awkward pci card in my case, I fired it up and hooked up my VCR. Well, the software installed just fine but when I tried to do some recording things got weird. I first tried to use the Divx 5.11 codec, and when I looked at the output of what I recorded, I saw that the video had a ton of artifacts (something you usually see like when you overclock your videocard way too high) and the framerate was very unbalanced. I took some snapshots of the artifacting I was getting. Also, when I try using a Xvid codec, the artifacts remain, but the slowdown goes away (when ever I stop recording with the xvid codec, the damn PVR program freezes too). Suprisingly, when I use the MPEG1 codec, everything is perfect. I'm at a complete loss here. If anyone has any tips or pointers, I'd be greatly appreciated. Oh, here's some of the hardware I'm running on:
Athlon XP 2500+ 512k L2 cache @ 2350mhz
Radeon 9800 PRO 128mb (not overclocked)
1gb PC3200 DDR
Abit nForce2 NF7-S v2.0
