I've read on some boards to shut down all proccesses, to give Pinnacle
Studio max resoruces; which I've done, and it still crashes after approx 30
secs of capturing ???

any suggestions to:

a. get it to work; or

b. strong recommendations for another video capture device [keeping in mind
I'm not impressed with ATI either] ?

I use Vegas Video and it is impressive. If you drop by one of the video
newsgroups, you'll see lots of swear words for Pinnacle. You might try
asking at rec.video.desktop or even rec.video.production which is aimed
at a little higher level of video people. But be prepared to take a
hazing for using Pinnacle.

I recently bought Pinnacle Studio 10 and experience the same problems. I
have discovered the Pinnacle support is useless. I will never buy aother
Pinnacle product nor recommend anyone buy it.

Yeh....I'm quickly learning that while the editing software is stellar and
very good, the capture side of things is very, very crappy. One should not
have to fight tooth-n-nail to get a software package to work.

I thought of putting it up on ebay, but i can't do that to someone.....


cheers...todd

If it's only the capture side of things, you could try using MS Movie
Maker just to do the digital "capture" (really just a file transfer if
you're using MiniDV) and then use your Pinnacle product. If it's analog
video you're capturing, I use my MiniDV camera's pass through function
to capture the video, either straight to the hard drive or record it on
MiniDV tape. You may have that as an option.

I use ADS because it doesn't drop any frames and you don't have to worry
about how much RAM you have or any other resources because it is an
external device.
