Can anyone advise me on how to set the default video settings (e.g. S-video
input, PAL-I, 720x576 pixels. Huffy encoding) for windows video capture on
an All-in-Wonder 9800SE card (WinXP, ATI 4.9 drivers)?

Whenever I start a capture in any software, I have to reset all these
values, which is a bit of a pain.

Also, any suggestions as to the best way to capture video? I'm working with
VirtualDubMod at the moment, but is there any direct facility within ATI's
software suite to do this?

Many thanks,

Andre Willey

Haa, thats funny(ATI software suite) sweet it aint.

Anyway, if you got an AIW card you probably have pinnacle studio 7 or 8.
Use that to capture, edit and render, or if your really stuck use windows
movie maker included in XP

I use the Ati MMC 9.02 to capture with a AIW 8500DV. A lot of people
slam the MMC but I have no problems with it, it will capture with any
codec on your system with total control over the capture settings. You
do need a 1.0G + CPU to have all capture codecs available. I've used
with a AMD 850, AMD 1500+ and now a P4-3.06 with no dropped frames,
audio/video always in sync. With the AMD 850 capture options were
severely limited.

If you create DVD's you can edit the capture settings to the match
your DVD authoring software so the file won't have to be re-rendered,
saves a lot of time.

Do you capture via the 'TV' tab on the launch bar? (and then set the
input to S-Video/etc via a preset and capture away)

Or is there some other capturing utility I've missed?
