Well I have never ued the PAL format, but may of the programs are set up for NTSC format. The basic Idea is to capture at the best quality=large file size then convert it to mpg2 or 4 to save space. John
Hi,
I am trying to transfer video from a camera SAMSUNG VP D73i (PAL) to a PC (Firewire port, Win XP).
I have already tried with more than 10 freeware apps but none of them work correctly. Some of them tell me something like "no capture device found" (VirtualDub), with others there is no audio or the video is totally screwed (Windows Movie Maker).
So far I got it right only with a small program called AMCAP, but I can only get the video uncompressed and 10 secs take like 50MB... I need something that can capture in a compressed format.
Any idea?
