Hello all, I'm new to this forum...just found this site today, it's really great!!
Here's my problem (or complaint), I recently upgraded my computer from a PIII 800 mhz to an Athlon XP 1800. I only really changed the cpu and mb and added additional ram this time, had upgraded the powersupply and hard drive a month or so previous. But anyway, I do a lot of video capturing with my computer, like TV shows, so it's approx a 1/2 hour show broken into three parts (cutting commercials) and then I compress with Virtual Dub. Previous to my upgrade I could compress two sections at once along with doing other things at the same time-burning cd's, word processing, web surfing, ect without having any problems with my compressed files. The other day I watched a part I had compressed and I found that it had artifacts or glitches on the video. I went to the same part on the uncompressed section of video and it looked fine, I've been only compressing one section at a time now without doing anything else to bother it and they seem to be turning out ok. So I guess I was wondering if anyone else had seen this happen or have problems like this, I'm assuming it's a slight difference in the coding of AMD compared to Intel or maybe I've caused a bottleneck in my system. (Sorry for such a lengthy first post, and thanks in advance!)
Here's my specs
Athlon 1800, Abit KT7A
1024 PC133
WD 100gb 7200rpm (w/8mb cache)
32mb ATI All-in-Wonder
Sound Blaster Live value
XP Pro
