Stuttery Capture Problems

I have an 8500DV am trying to capture input via the Composite In. Whilst
recording, the picture is jittery on occasion and I cannot get it to stop.
I'm using Win XP SP1, Cat 3.7 and MMC 8.5

Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks

Turn off the DV dipswitches on the video card; record interlaced. De-
interlace causes jerky motion in MMC. Do you have plenty of RAM and an
adequate CPU? I also managed to clear up a little bit of stuttering by
enabling 4X AGP as opposed to 2X.
 
Thanks for the reply Bilar. I am using the DVD setting in Personal Video
Recorder and that is set to record Interlaced.

My card is set to AGP4 and I have an AMD Athlon Barton XP3200 with 512MB
ram.

Thanks again,

Are you referring to Snapstream PVS? If that's the case, you can try
setting the motion estimation setting at or near 100 percent.
I bought PVS a few weeks ago and promptly returned it. I thought it had
great potential, but it's DVD captures were just not as good as MMC.
The captures looked great on still or slow moving footage, but things
gets progessively grainier the more movement is involved. I thought it
looked a bit jerky as well. In looking through the Snapstream forum, I
noticed I was not alone in this asessment. Many posters reported sub
standard mpeg capture. I suspect it is ideally suited to harware
capture cards like PVR-250 and 350's.
