I am having problems with video capture, whenever I try to capture video from my camcorder, the final video on my computer is all jumpy, the frame rate is really high and I have a good CPU and graphics card so I don't know what the problem could be. I have a Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 graphics card and 1.25 GB of RAM.
My capture device is a Kworld DVD maker USB 2.0.

Your frame rate or your graphics card have no affect on recording to the hard drive.

I would suggest talking to the capture device's tech support.

I need to explain my issue a little better.
When I am capturing, the video is not smooth, it's like the frame rate is set to 5fps, but it's not, kinda like skipping.

have you defragged your drive lately? Also do some recent spyware and virus tests. If you need good free cleaners they are in the red link with basic instructions

I defrag my drive weekly, and check for spyware and viruses often.

if you do those things above, all I can suggest is maybe turn off most processes when you are capturing a vid. Something is running in tyhe background and that is why things get jerky.

Also be sure you have the latest vid drivers as well as the latest drivers for your capture card.

If all the above is true. I presume you may have a faulty capture card. Try their tech support as response 1 mentioned

When I started getting into analog video capture (tons of old family camcorder tapes) I had the same problem exactly as you. Three things:
>K World makes junk. Period. I struggled for several weeks with that same unit that you have - the USB2 capture device, suppose to encode to mpeg2 files. I never could get that thing to work, it is still in my workshop drawer.
>You need minimally a 2.0 GHz processor running at LEAST at 333FSB if you are running AMD, or minimally a 3 GHz P4 processor if you are running Intel. 1 gig RAM, at least pc2700/333FSB.
>I finally purchased the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250 video card. This is an internal, PCI video card that does a beautiful job of capturing analog video and convernting to mpeg2 files. From there you can edit the files in any of several video editors, and burn to DVD disks if you like. Even if you manage to get the K-World to work, the quality will not come even close to what a good card will produce.

Thanks for the info. I have all of the requirements that you listed, and I think I might get a PCI card.

I had the same problem. What I had to do was capture to a dedicated drive with no OS on it. By doing that I quit dropping frames when I transfered video from my cam to my computer.
