It's the compression to MPEG (or any compression) that takes time. That's why people pay more for a hardware real-time MPEG encoder. No convcersion necessary.

Hope this helps,

Hi Bartok,

I have just bought a Dazzle DVC90 to transfer some video tape recordings from vcr to pc files. The supplied test program Amcap works ok but with dropped frames, but nothing shows or captures with Pinnacle Studio 9. I keep getting a 'capture error'. Any advice ?

Regards, pcd.
