Title: Capture card question.
Post by: GodDamnImDaMan on January 06, 2004, 12:39:41 PM
Okay for the millionth time, i know I should be posting this into Tech Talk, but it seems as though no one really responds in those threads. Anyway, here's my question. I have a fairly new computer, however when I capture at a 720X480 resolution it drops crazy frames. When i capture at 380X240 it doesnt....Is this because of a cheap generic capture card that came with the computer?

If so can anyone tell me the best capture card on the market? And how much it would cost?

go with a nice expensive matrox card ($500+), and you should be okay

That's probably about what you already have in your computer...

Michael Alessandro would be the best guy to ask.

I bought Pinnacle Studio DV that included a capture card and software. It has worked flawlessly. I got it with rebate for $70 or so. Normally it's over $100 I think.

I had an ATI All In Wonder Pro card before I bought my first Mac four years ago. It worked very nicely. Until I got the Mac. Then I stopped using it.

It honestly sounds like you have a memory problem, especially since it works fine at a lower resolution. I know that was covered in your first thread on the topic, though.
