Thank you, I hope you don’t mind me asking many questions about the TBC’s because it looks like it’s going to be the most expensive item in my whole setup. Including the computer, monitor, 2x AG1980 and rest of the stuff.
Unfortunately my ATI cards have never been able to capture via VirtualDub. My old card would give me a “can’t find capture device error”, and my new card finds the capture device and looks fine during preview. However the minute I hit capture my computer will spazz out.
“ATI appears to be shipping their current devices with a WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver only; this can be used indirectly by VirtualDub through a Microsoft wrapper, but it is crippled in functionality and it also appears that the wrapper is buggy. The wrapper will show up as "Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)." If it works for you, great.”

I know allot of people have complaints about the software, but I have been using the
Pinnacle Studio line for years (except Studio 10) with what I think are great results. I use it just for capture, then I use
TMPGEnc to edit and encode. May I ask your opinion of the suitability of that software and or options?
