I bought this card for my Emachine T1842 running windows XP with 768 of ram and 160GBs worth of a hard drive. I have a problem recording off the Tv is simple I just plug the cable into the card and hit record and it records very nicely looks great. I then was trying to do up my home movies well that wasnt so simple. I used nero software to capture the video onto my hardrive but the video on my computer when I playied it back the video was moving alittle too fast so MUCH that it would kinda BLUR the image on the screen. I finaly desided to use WINTV make a S video channel and record of that picture still too slow. Could my problem be I dont have enough ram and thats why the video is lagging?Are home movies being played on this computer which is also trying to record or are they playing through a DVD or VHS player, in which you have the S-Video output directly into your video capture card which would be the same as is you were recording TV?

If you are using the computer to play one format to CONVERT to another, you could be running into saturation of the video card to where the GPU can not keep up with real time pixel transitions.

Also seen where the CPU can get to 100% and cause similar issues. Usually a CPU overload will also cause a audio and video offset where the CPU is unable to stitch the audio and video data together in manageable time for the FINISHED product.Yeah for the home movies I'm using an S video cable I mean I'm running a Celeron processor would upgrading to a pentium 4 help? Oh also when I do hook the regular TV cable up to the card to tape off the TV I dont have any problems at all.
