Best settings or filters for ATI AIW setup?
 

Purchased a HP Z400 computer + 4TB hard drive, 8GB ram. Purchased TBC + ATI AIW USB capture setup (Reason for loading XP is AIW).

Loaded XP 32bit - SP2
Using Virtualdub, x86 32bit to transfer VHS to AVI using Lagarith lossless.

Can any one help me with best settings, or filters to start. I am using S-video input, and can get pictures and sound, but once captured the control buttons at the bottom of the screen don't function. System will only show captured video and will not show processed video. (Only showing capture screen vs. capture screen and process screen)

I think that Windows might be interfering.

Help please!

Sleeper XPL: You should really start a new thread for your specific issue, rather than replying at the end of an existing thread on a different topic. People who can answer are most likely to see it that way, particularly if you name your thread's Title well.

I don't understand what you're describing. If you do start a new thread, please attach screenshots showing your issue, if images would be enough to show it. Or make a short video, if photos aren't sufficient.

Yes starting a new thread is highly recommended. This thread is really old now and most people will ignore it.

It sounds like you've installed the ATI AIW USB2.0 device drivers. Then began using one of the many versions of VirtualDub.

VirtualDub has changed a lot in 15 years, so its important that you post in the New thread which version of VirtualDub you are using.

This website and forum has curated "Guides" or "Tutorials" on how to use VirtualDub for "Capture".

VirtualDub has two modes, one as a clip editor, the other as a capture tool.

While VirtualDub can apply filters while its capturing.. do not do that !

PCs that run the drivers for ATI AIW USB2.0 and VirtualDub under XP are too weak to apply filters at the same time as capturing.. it will cause much damage to the capture file.

The end result file.. if it doesn't abort will be unacceptable during playback.

After capturing, you don't want to use VirtualDub for editing.. its not a good tool for that purpose. There are many better tools for editing the capture file.

I think based on your description that "the controls" do not work after capture.. means your trying to use VirtualDub for playback and editing.. don't do that !

VirtualDub is a very poor playback and editing tool. There are far better, for free.

You can browse around or ask for opinions.. but Windows media player, VLC, KM Player are a few good players.

Editing depends on your experience and preference.. people will make recommendations that better suit you.. if you explain your background editing videos.. anywhere from "none" to "advanced".. on MacOS or Windows.

Hope that helps.
