Okay, so I buy the ATI card right, there manual is no help. I want to bring the video in edit with msp and put it back out. how do I do this? How large do I need to capture? 640x480? Avi or Mpeg? then once I edit that and save it, how do I get it back out? Do I hook it up to display on a tv, then just play the file full screen? If so that would mean capturing large files like 700 something right? or can it just send a video signal out that only plays the video on the tv. If it is the first, how big do I need to capture? And the second, how big?Thanks For answering all theese anoying "newbie" questions,

I've found that to get full screen capture you need a pretty fast computer with all of its resources dedicated to video. Turn off all helper apps and apps that sit in the abckground. Fast RAM, lotsa RAM and fast drives play key roles as well. I've found that full screen capture is about a gig per 5 minutes. I don't compress at all. That's at fullscreen. If you're making a web film do yourself a favour and not capture at fulls creen. It'll take up less space, less processor and less ram. Less headaches too.------------------

Moviedirector:I have the ATI All-In-Wonder 128 16 MB. My computer's specs are a PII 350, 64MB RAM, 7 GB hard drive and a 16.6 GB hard drive at 5200 RPM. I capture at 320x240, 30fps, MPG format. When I capture, I can record 1 minute of footage in 25 MB or so, with minimal compression, capturing to the 16.6 HD. When I playback at fullscreen, you can't really tell the difference between the orginal vid and the capture. To record on VHS or whatever, disable and stop all other programs, and playback in full screen with a program like Windows Media Player. I like it, frankly. And that's my two cents. ------------------

That's a good point Chaggie makes. ATI even tells you that there's little difference between 320x340 and 640x480. | |
