the very newest drivers from nvidia are causing some of these problems roll back to an older driver.

a 640x480 capture of analog video is typically fine. thats more than a normal tape has and more than a normal tv will show. when u capture or output at a larger res it's adding lines anyway, so u either add lines during capture or during coding for a analog tape. for this card i dont think it makes a difference either way. i would like to experiment with the higher res's but i dont have an edtv or hdtv to play with. *trivia note: the new divx codec will allow progressive compression (for edtv) and a few of the newest dvd players are reading divx.

if it's old tape then i capture at dv quality (most uncompressed) and encode to svcd (no dvd burner yet) if it needs cleaning up then i use virtual dub, here is a link with good cleaning tips http://nickyguides.digital-digest.com/vdub-filters2.htm if u want to do any editing or fixing i suggest dv capture edit> studio 8 works perfectly on xp pro

Pinnacle Systems Studio Deluxe Version 8 Video Editing Kit Model: 210100189 on bestbuy.com it's the same as the one i have but it's got connectors for the front and it's gobs more i got my studio av/dv for 102$ shipped at http://www.needsoftware.com/777535.html

i would suggest the pinnacle studio series studio av/dv will capture digital and analog and includes the studio software for about 130-150 (i have this one) it outputs vcd, svcd and dv formats, and will do the burning. (it will also output most any format that u have a codec installed for) it has an mpeg processor on the card to speed the coding along. ps beware of the usb capture ones.

sure amd will be a threat to intel as they always have been a threat to 100% cpu market share is all. intel will release the 64bit chip as soon as they are done milking the 32bit market, and not a second before.

they will always be master and slave to me

i'll give u a little hint. turn that thing into a venturi and the incoming air temp can drop almost to freezing (or about 40 degrees below oat). no one makes em so i make my own sometimes

the cool thing is that if the temp is really too high the intel will shut itself down. no worries (my xeons run at 55-60 when they are loaded.)

nt will work with ht xeons. doesnt work very well so if u go for nt dont ht.

i found that a small 5gig system partition makes for extra speed. (unless u are running raid) i also format everything ntfs i have a 15k u360 scsi and the difference is noticable

important safety tip came out of it though im gonna remember that (i hope)

norton system works will also.

arent the new drivers available on the web? the dot4.lpt is part of their driver set. not sure if they had u install this way but for hp usb printers u dont plug anything in until the drivers are loaded. then plug it in and "auto" install when it finds new hardware

i've had ht xeons since the day they came out (about feb 2001). they arent much faster than a normal processor doing one thing but they are monsters of multitasking. the biggest advantage for normal peeps is that java multithreads big time so all java apps, especially the expensive engineering apps will smoke. my 2 dual xeon workstations are almost identical except the e7500 chip v i860 the i860 with rambus runs so much cleaner than the e7500 with ddr that i wont build another dual xeon with ddr.

interesting... what do u guys do/specialize in?

isnt it just like when we had 32bit proc but only 16bit os's? no impact until 32bit software/os's came around. i'll stick with my xeon's for now

they do have fuel cells

wow there is sunthin wrong with that. "system" should be nothin. try looking at the device manager and see if there is sunthin foul. sounds like a hardware issue. but there is more info needed. if nothing is wrong in the device manager i myself would reload xp and check each step until the problem shows itself.

what processes are using cpu and how much

i remember i always d/l the x86 file for the corp 7.x but im a client only so i need the other file 8)

when i click the file it says it cant find the file i clicked it happened before but i cant remember how to fix that

i used to manually d/l but now i remember why i stopped the error says cannot find file etc how do u install this thing again

since ws is the most widely used os in the world it would makes sense that it would also be the most hacked and slashed. changing to a competitive os makes a ton of sense

i have the logitek wireless keyboard using the standard xp keyboard drivers all keys work as they are supposed to in wolf
