| 741665 | 2009-01-24 11:11:00 | i have decided to make myself a computer dedicated to capturing movies and videos off TV, VHS and DVD to digital and also convert VHS to DVD. the only problem is it takes an age to transcode the MPEG videos to DVD , capturing using the DVD pal or MPEG 2 settings is laggy and AVI limits file size to 4 gig (every ~12 minutes) plus a small lag between captured AVI files, nero the **** program that it is wont let me capture using the AV or SVHS ports on the card so it can capture in the format where nero will acctually burn reasonably quickly. if there is i would like to know if there is any decent software that can burn DVDs compatible with most DVD players and can transcode from the format the mothorboard's speed can handle (VCD pal setting ~517Mb per hour) reasonably quickly instead of like an hour to transcode 15 minutes of video anyway specs of the machine 1.1Ghz intel celeron 256Mb ram 6 gig boot seperate 500Gig hard disk for video storage LiteOn DVD±R(W) CDR(W) (recently bought 16x speed dvd write) pixelveiw bt878 type video capture and TVR running windows 2k sp4 with large LBA enabled i think a ram upgrage and/or motherboard upgrade might be in order |

I wouldnt bother with VCD Look on the pixelview site, for a program. cdburnerxp would probably do what you're after, and its free (and a lot smaller). Only thing is, I dont think you can do menus etc in it The hdd needs to be formatted in NTFS, to go beyond the 4 GB limit. Thats why you're seeing / getting the 4 GB limit. Its formatted in FAT32 |

| 741667 | 2009-01-24 11:32:00 | the 500 gig is NTFS at some stage i'll find some more ram or nick some out of my web server and see if i can capture in something other than VCD pal which btw is a setting in the software for the resolution, bitrate and quality setting and no im not bothering with VCDs except maybe for videos a few minutes long and cant be buggered wasting a DVD on a short video the software that came with the card (brand new BTW) is ok and is better than the old flyview one which was majorly unstable. |
