Tape vs TV capture difference by Pinnacle MP10

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I use Pinnacle MP10 to capture mpg1 at 3000kbit rate. I choose the "Wide A/V Synchronize" function and capture TV via TV turner of recorder. The picture is stable and the A/V syn is good.

However, I choose the same setting to capture Tape via the same recorder. The picture is distorted.

I unuse the "Wide A/V Synchronize" function and capture again. The picture is stable again but the A/V is not synchronize.

I have changed another tape and another recorder to test again. The result is the same.

Can anyone comment?

It sounds like you might have a driver conflict. I had a similar problem when I installed other software after my capture software. Perhaps re-install your drivers for your mp10? I believe the mp10 is a parll. port capture device. I have the dc10/pci card. I also have read of others having the same problem on the Pinnacle website. They have a message board for each product and also offer online support. You might find more help there.
