Hi I recently purchased DC1 TV board. I have Pentium 66-Micropolis, 1.75 GIG AV, Fast SCSI 2 Controller and 32MEG of RAM. My capture, with a SONY Hi8 Handycam and S video, is very good at data rate of 700KB/sec. My export to videois not good and my transfer to video tape of my saved movie is not the same quality as my capture. I can't seem to get Print to video quality when I save movie using AVI compression. It is somewhat jerky and appears to be missing frames when it plays back. When I export to video the jerkyness goes out to the tape. Can you help me with how you have been doing both: a) Print to Video b) Transfer to video tape. Please advise on the various settings and techniques you use for each. I would really appreciate your help. Thanks Arnie

Arnold: Make sure you have the DC1 1.13 driver or later, and also try dropping the data rate of the video slightly – you may be capturing just at the limits of your system's throughput. Nick
