9800 AIW audio distortion & dropped frames

I am capturing video/audio from an 8mm videotape using the ATI input dongle
& the bundled Pinnacle software and an AIW 9800 Pro to try and produce a
VCD.

Motherboard is an Abit NF7-S (512mb PC 3200 DDR) w/ onboard Nvidia
Soundstorm audio and I run my ring/tip/sleeve connector out of the video
card's dongle into the "line in" on the motherboard as per per instructions.

Since I am only trying to do vcd quality because of the 8mm tape
limitations, I find that I am still getting dropped frames and audio
distortion.

Both the 8mm tape & the VHS tape copy actually look/sound better.

I used the latest drivers and upgrades from the ATI website instead of using
the original CD per information I have read here.

Suggestions as to a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
 
PS: On boot I get an "Error loading device" - "Specific Module cannot be
found" in C;\Programs\ATI and, the heading on the error massage is
Rundll.exe.

Upon going into control panel/administrative services/event properties I see
that the source is Ati2mtag, the category is WDM and the description of
the event is: SRB command failed-SRB_GET_DEVICE_PROPERTY

Anyone?

Thanks

Click to expand...

Uninstall all the drivers, control panel, mmc, and finally video drivers
etc, reboot and reinstall. Order is
WDM (dont reboot) vid drivers, reboot, dvd, mmc.

I reinstalled the drivers and. on my advanced settings screen - the
SmartGart section is "greyed out" and I cannot adjust anything (even though
it's set to 8x & Fast writes disabled which is what I want)

Did I install something wrong?
