Hi everybody, We have a DC1-TV since 3 month ago, we would like to use it for small videoproduction like fairvideos or companypresentations with VHS standard quality (250 lines resolution)to record them direct to videotape. so we build a small professional equipment arround this board. pentium 90 on plato, 2 enhanced 500 mb at-bus drives for programms,1 micropolis 1,7 gb 2217 av scsi/s harddisk for the captured videodata (this drive is created for high audio+videoperformance, cause it did not do any thermic calibration), an adaptec pci scsi/2 adaphter, and a soundblaster 16 asp! but now we find out, that the system dosn`t work correct! the quality of the captured video in still mode is fine, so about half broadcast (max 284 lines resolution)! but if you playback the digitalvideo, theres nothing like bullshit, cause the video flicker!! we cant use this dc1-tv board now!! the flicker effect can`t come from the micropolis, so we thing the problem is about windows, we try 3.1 and for workgroups or the interleave with audiodata. so we have tested os2 3 warp, but we cant find a os2 driver and the windows one dosn`t work under 32 bit os2 ! at last we have to say, the flicker effect begins after about 3-5 min sustained video, so it is possible to use the board for short clips! but we cant use it, cause we need about 25 min videos! sorry, forget the miro hotline, they haven`t help us, we are here in germany near by and they told us everything is fine! but nobody there can show us how!! finally, please if there are DC1-OWNER outside, which haven't our problems please give us a short response. also all other harddiskinterested people which can give us tips about other cheap videoequipment. thanks from Frank + Ulli
