capture problems

[isis]

hi!

well, I?m not sure if it?s apropriate to talk about this here or if some of you can help me with that,

i?m having problems trying to capture a video from my mini dv camcorder to my pc portable, i?m using "premiere" and "make movie (part of xp)" programs and with both the image is absolutely dropped - and i suspect that it must be some very stupid and easy thing to do/change....

 

p.s. it happens before with another pc portable and it works before very well with a mac portable (with the same camera)

sorry, with pc portable i want to mean laptop ( i?m mixing english and french)

Sorry isis, don't quite understand what you're trying to do?

 

Are you having trouble capturing or burning?

 

We need a bit more info, thanks.

Capturing: from a ?mini dv digital v?deo camcorder PAL -Canon mv-20? to a ASUS Z92JC-Q318H T2300/1GB/80/15 using ?adobe premiere software?

 

Anyway I?m trying to get technical support from ASUS... but they?re very slow here

 

well I know this is not a v?deo forum... just in case some of you had this experience before

 

thanks

No, I can't say I have this problem.

 

Best you wait for Asus support.

i assume you are connecting dv cam to laptop by firewire ? or are if not, what are you using ?

 

main problem with laptops is the hdd speed, its not uncommon for the hdd to be to slow for video capture , especially with Movie Maker ( i dont know about premier) . this ties in with why it worked on a mac machine before as well

 

im not saying this is the problem in your case, but it seems to be the most common one for video dropout and frames dropped
