I am using DVD maker 2 bundle, that includes the cabel and all the other bits and pieces needed. I go to PowerDirector, go to capture, pretty much leave everything at default and go.... I forgot to say it is plugged into my panasonic vcr. I cant understand why the picture is fine until I hit record?
I will try some of the suggestions offered, although my brother who knows a tiny bit more about computers than me assures me that my laptop meets the specifications required to run the program.
You guys are great taking the time to help! I really appreciate it.
:
ps I live in australia, could that have something to do with the settings?

Thanks guys, I will give that a go. as I said it is all fine until i start to record and then it goes haywire. From the sounds of ity I will have to "up the RAM"...I will give that a go and get back to you.

sorry, you are my only hope!
Does anything else come to mind why it would choppy only when it records?
|

Would it help if I used an external hard drive and saved the capture there?

The playback capture is choppy, but all frames are there. As I mentioned the capture is fine (no "choppyness/jerkyness) until I press record.
I tried the "magician" button and then it was fine , but cut back the capture from 19 minutes to just 6. Can I change the time with the magician so it equals the captured clip?
I have spoken to a guy that runs the same program on his laptop (with a bit more memory) and his works fine.
Thank you

Hi! I am so very new to this, but reading the forums it seems there is a lot of help out there from members, so fingers crossed!
I have PowerDirector 6 installed and trying to convert my home vhs tapes to dvd.
When i go to capture, the picture is fine, but as soon as I start recording it goes "jerky". What am I doing wrong?
I am running it on a vista-32bit system. Thanks
