Video Capture problem

I am able to capture from video camera to my computer using video capture settings “high quality video (small)†and lower. However, captured videos becomes “jumpy†when I use video capture settings starting with “high quality video (large)†and higher. When video is captured as DV-AVI, for example, not only is the video captured “jumpy†but the audio becomes “jumpy or choppy†as well.

But I would like to use video capture settings higher or better than the “high quality video (small)†as there is marked improvement in quality when using these higher video capture settings.

Can anyone tell me what should I do?
 
It seems to me that data throughput of your system is restricted somehow...
it might be your slow or fragmented disk, your pc in general (what are the
specs ?), or your capture card.

Start with defragging a couple of times. Try your capture card on some
friends computer with better specs to eliminate the other two.
 
thanks rehan, you're probably right. i was actually doing it on a laptop to test before i get my new desktop. what are your recommended specs of the pc am going to buy so that excellent video capture, editing and burning and storage can be achieved.

again thanks and more power to you

Generally the money becomes the deciding factor. However if it allows you to
consider go for a CPU upto 3GHz, beyond that speed the value for money
decreases. Other things to consider are fast HDD of atleast 7200 rpm and 1GB
memory. Take these as guidelines only, a slower spec would also work... I am
using 500MHz P3 machine only :(
