i run a g4 500Mhz w/ 384MB, 34gig, VM off, disk cache @ max, OS 9.04, with the PCI ATI VR Pro 128 Multimedia w/ TV Tuner. I run dual monitor setup (the ati vr agp is running 17in studio display(1024x768, millions of colors), the ati pci is running a Apple RGB Display (640x480, millions of colors)). All my software is up to date.
it doesnt matter what settings i use (DV, Cinepak, Sorenson Video, different resolutions, different sizes, different monitor) the recording goes fine, but when i play it, it loses sync after a few seconds. im 100% sure it's xclaim video player. i havent tried plugging a vcr into the video plugging into tv pod, but i doubt that would work either.
anyway, does anyone have tips? is this program just F.U.B.A.R.? i like the tv tuner, but recording just sucks. should i give up and try btv? or am i missing something?
ps, i havent tried extension disabling, and im not gonna disable all my extensions just to record something, cause i record randomly--like if i see a commercial i like.
