iuVCR problem... never had a problem before

[2ZOD.COM]

I've been using iuVCR for all my captures for quite a while now, and I've never had this problem.

I just removed my video card to get a replacement... and that's the only change I've made to my system that I could think even be remotely related to this. (It was a radeon x600 pro if it matters)

So I open iuVCR, everything is fine... set the capture parameters... and when I hit record everything is OK for about 2 seconds. Then the FPS drops to about 7 and it just starts dropping frames like mad. It's not the source video because I already have 5 hours of the same tapes captured flawlessly.

When I try to STOP the capture iuVCR just freezes up on me, and the only way I can even get it to close is hit the restart button on my computer. I get an error something about MCI console... or something like that.

iuVCR also locks up when I open a preview window, and then close it. The preview window doesn't go away and the program hangs. I try to close it and I get the "this program is no responding" BS I hit 'end now' and the program STILL doesn't go away.

I've tried everything. I even went so far as to completely reinstall windows... and it still does it. I don't get what the deal here is.

Could my drivers be bad? I'm using an Aver TV Studio card with the tweak3d drivers. As I said, I've never had a problem like this before... so who knows.

No one can think of anything?

I think it might have something to do with my video drivers and overlaying or something. I forgot to mention now that I took out my video card I'm using the onboard video (Intel 915G chipset) of my motherboard.

The onboard video may use some extra CPU power.
Maybe disabling the preview at capture helps?
Have you tried other drivers? Try VirtualVCR and see
if you get the same problems. Try move the capture card
to another PCI-slot, it may be some IRQ sharing problem.

No preview doesn't help, when I hit capture, it works for a bit. When I stop the capture iuVCR just freezes.

I'll try swapping to a new PCI slot, but I think you're right about the drivers. I'll have to find some new ones.. I can't remember exactly the ones I used when it worked. I have about 4 completely different sets on my computer.

[2ZOD.COM]

Nope... not the drivers. Tried swapping drivers with every version I have, and I have many.

I think it has something to do with my video cards (or lack of) overlay. I was using onboard video, beause I don't have a PCIe card yet. I put the capture card together with my old motherboard, and it captures flawlessly again with the same drivers that wouldn't work on my new board with the onboard video. I guess that's an issue that asus has to work out.

UPDATE

Nope, still nothing yet. I got a new video card. Radeon X600XT with VIVO. My capture card still doesn't work. I tried it with the new card, no good. Tried it on another PCI slot... no good. I think my video card may be malfunctioning.

At least my new card has VIVO. I don't think the quality is as good as the Aver card.. but oh well..
