My current problem is that I can capture video from my Sony Hi 8 camcorder either through S-video or composite, and playback on the preview screen seems to be OK. If I try to adjust the clip i.e. titles, brightness or put transitions in between clips then they play back is slow and jerky in the preview screen, and the colour becomes what can best be described as blocky or patchy. I have updated my ATI drivers via the web site. I also disabled the overlay option because capture badly distorted the image if I didn't.
One more point under settings in capture, I have to use ATI Multivideo Video Driver, because if I use ATI BE 829 Pro WDM Video Capture 7-20-98 I can't capture any video.
Can anyone help ?
My current system includes the following :-
300Mhz AMD K6 2 3D Now
36x CD Drive (Creative)
Seagate 3.2 gig hard drive (Ultra UDMA 5400RPM)
ATI All In Wonder Pro (8Mb AGP)
64Mb RAM
Windows 98

Although I am not familiar with your capture cards I have had some experience with VideoWaveII. The jerkiness is I believe due to the programme being unable to cope with Hi8 SVHS playback, especially with unrendered transitions etc. If you 'produce video' does the final product play ok in the preview window or in the Windows Media player? Even though VideoWave II can capture high quality analogue and DV video I also had a certain amount of jerkiness and I was using a PII 400 with 128MB ram and a DC30+ capture card. So my advice is to ignore the jerkiness in the preview window during storyboarding and check out the final product.
Hope this helps

I have produced the video, but it still played back jerky and the colours were still blocky / patchy. I haven't as yet transferred it to tape but will try this and let you know. I have discussed this issue with MGI, who are at present looking into it. I will post something to the board as soon as I know something.
Thanks

Have you tried saving the 'movie' as an MPEG2 file and playing that.
David
I am currently awaiting the CD that has MPEG2 on it. They send this under seperate cover after you have purchased Videowave II. As soon as it arrives I will try your suggestion, and let ou know.
Thanks
