aiw problem- help?

[mrtj]

i have an all in wonder 128 16mb. i increased the res of my new monitor to 1600 from 1024, and things dont work sometimes, could it be because of the amount of memory on the board? if i try to capture it screws up. i thought it was old drivers, but could the board just be too old to capture to a high res avi and be running at 1600 at 32 bit?

Probably not a powefull enough solution for capture at that resolution, or it might be that the rest of the system can't keep up with the data stream. I can't think of too many systems that could!

ok, confusion. i dont capture the video to 1600. i capture to 720x480, the monitor res is at 1600x1200. it cant be my sys. it's fairly new:
kt7 raid
1 Ghz T Bird
384 MB PC-133 SDRAM
and i am capturing on a maxtor diamondmax 82 gb HD.

if it couldnt handle the data stream, then shouldnt it do give me the same error when i am using monitor res 1024?

doesnt make a diff now anyway, i am buying a new matrox card.

Well, my STB TV card can capture at 640X480@30FPS, but the file size for a 1 minute video is something like 384MB! So even my new system can't keep up with that as long as it's doing other things! I even thought about sending all my videos to a SCSI hard drive, but none of my SCSI hard drives are fast enough except for this 10,000 RPM drive that I don't use because it sounds like a jet turbine! And I don't think your video chip is powerfull enough to compress AVI data at that rate into another format, leaving your processor to do the work. And my TV card cannot display an image larger that 320x240 pixels while recording at high resolutions, so if your video card w/tv can do it even with the display resolution at 1024x768, your lucky. After all, we are not talking about the latest and greatest video technology here.
