I am capturing movies from a Sony Dig8 Handycam to my Windows XP system using Movie Maker. I want to do a fairly high res capture, and I so first tried the "Video for Lan 1.0Mbps" setting. The capture was good, but I wanted a bit higher res for archiving some important home movies. I next tried "Video for Local Playback 1.5Mbps." The quality of the video was noticeably better--just what I was looking for--but every capture at that speed has an odd crackling sound along with it (and that is completely absent from the 1.0 capture). So, I tried bumping up a setting--to the highest setting, I think--"Video for Local Playback-2.1Mbps." This one was also high quality and DID NOT include the crackling, but the files are just too large, about 10MB per minute of capture. Does anyone know why the one setting gives me the crackling/popping sound? Do you have any suggestions for avoiding it? I made sure not to do anything else at my system while doing the capture, to make sure I wasn't slowing the system down with other tasks. Again, this is the only setting that causes it--and wouldn't you know it's the one I'd really like to use for the capture. Please reply here or to the e-mail or both.
