When using Pinnacle Studio 8.10 to capture DV from my new Sony TRV80 camcorder it drops about 10 frames per minute. I have done all the typical things to ensure that the non-required processes are stopped. I ran EndItAll, defragged the disk, configured windows GUI for "performance" and it still droppes frames. I can capture DV to my old P III 1GHz computer using the same software with no dropped frames.
Pinnacle has provided help and I followed their advice to get things this far. When I started last week, it was dropping 100 frames per minute.
This is a fast computer, it should not drop any frames.
This system is a ASUS P4C800 Deluxe 2.6GHz Pentium 4 overclocked to 3.25GHz. It runs mem86 over night. It runs Prime95 over night. The CPU temp is 46 deg. C. while running two instances of Seti@home(ie. full load).It has been very stable. I have the latest of all drivers and there are NO PCI cards installed.
So, I started to "tune it down" and I found that if the "Performance Mode" is set to "Auto" in the BIOS or if it not set to the standard frequencies of 200MHz FSB and 400MHz memory, then it drops frames. I had to set everything to standard in order to get the firewire port to work without droping frames.
So, I installed a PCI firewire card and set the overclocks back to their “normal” settings of FSB to 250MHz and the memory at 320MHz and all is fine. I can capture video through the PCI firewire port without dropping any frames.
So, the bottom line is that there is a problem with the integrated firewire port on the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe when it is overclocked. ASUS has been informed.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
