Problems after capture with Studio8

[makaone]

Hi,

Well i will try to explain whats going on.

I captured from a vhs video into a mjpg format which is the defaul format by pinnacle, it works perfect and gives me a 17.3 gig file at the end which is fine , but then when i try to save is as a avi file it gets to about 6.8 gig and then freeses.

I want to be able to do this so as to apply it DVD2SVCD to save all the mucking around.

I was told that it would be better to use vdub but it,s not reconising my card which is a Pinnacle dc10 plus, i was then told to try btwincap drivers but to no avil.

Maybe i have missed something simple , but i just don't understand why it creates a 6 gig avi and then crashes?

I'm running a p4 2.4 , Intel board , 1024 ddr 2700 mem , 2- 80 gig 7200 drives , gforce 2 leadtek card 64 mb , Pinnacle dc10 plus capture card .

If i go through the process and create 4 6 gig avi and loadf them into dvd2svcd the thing works fine , but hence 4 cd's instead of 2 if i could do it the other way .

Any help greatly appreciated.

:confused: :confused: :confused:

I can't help with the mjpeg to avi conversion, as I capture direct to dv format. But I might be able to help if I understood more of what you are trying to do. So some questions/suggestions:
What is you final target format?
I assume you capture to mjpeg then try to save to avi using Studio 8? Which avi codec are you trying?
Why not use vdub to encode your mjpeg to an avi i.e. no need to use vdub for the actual capture?
Is there any reason to use dvd2svcd? Maybe read your capture file direct into your mpeg2 encoder in one step, then use Nero or similar to make the svcd.
