I can capture (from a DV camera) just fine as long as I capture in compressed format. However, when I try in uncompressed (avi), I get horribly choppy audio and video. I recently converted this machine to XP, and started with a totally clean disk drive. Also, I defragged the drive last week as well, and have lots of free space. Before converting to XP, I had very few probelms with this type of capture (both in ME and Win2000 Pro). Machine is a bit old, 750 MHZ Pentium III with 512 MB memory (it's a Vaio desktop). Other than the change to the OS, all the hardware including the camera (a Canon ZR)is the same. The only item in the startup list is McAfee anti virus. I've had much better luck with some of the small capture only utilities, sch as AVIEDIT, but even this has a small amont of choppiness, even though it doesn't report any dropped frames
Any ideas?
