I have an ATI card (not the ATI Rage All-In-Wonder) which used to work fine for mpeg capture last year, but for the past several months, my attempts to capture in mpeg result in a large drop in frames. Capturing in avi works better, but, I can't configure the quality of the codec used, and I can't capture in 352x240 format. Also, none of the editing software I use (magixDeLuxe, Canon Video, MGI Videowave III, Pinnacle Studio 8, Virtualdub, and a download demo of Ulead) will recognize and work with the card (some keep on giving me error readings, "asking" for my old WinTv capture card).
I did defrag my drive, but, that didn't seem to do much good. I also limited the number of programs enabled at startup. Nada. Should I try one of those "ram scrubber" things?
