LifeView LifeVideo To-Go  Video Capture

Lifeview FlyVideo 3000 capture quality

By Riddle - usenet poster


My Lifeview FlyVideo 3000 TV capture card provides very good preview
quality, but quality of captured video is significantly worse. It
looks like chrominance channel is coded with too few bits resulting in
"paletized" look of picture. In TV capture it's acceptable, but
captures from video camera are just bad. I tried different capture
applications (Lifeview capture, iuVCR, AmCap) with various setting
(YUV, RGB, different resolutions), but all of then gave the similar
result. I have Windows XP Professional a latest driveds from Lifeview
(20.40).
Does anybody have the same experience and found a solution? I am
considering trying Linux with drivers for saa7134 from bytesex.org.

Thanks,

Ash

Your problem is with winXP incompatibility with the card. Also what
processor do you have? The capture software works OK in Win98SE and
Win2000.  Better quality can be acheived using WinCoder or WinDVR2
(now same price US$50 so better to go with WinDVR2).  PowerVCR is not
comaptible with the saa7134.

I use a AMP 1800+ on a AMD761 chipset motherboard with 256 MB DDR266
RAM.  Get reasonably good capture using Win98SE.  Using WinXP video
capture was choppy and audio was not synchronized.

Problem solved by use of Fly2000 software. It seems that all other
applications don't use RGB24 capture format (iuVCR freezes, when I
choose this or similar format). Fly2000 gives the same capture quality
capture as preview.
