I bought a cheap and cheerful digital video camera (Traveler dv-5000 HD from Aldi) today, successfully imported some clips (.avi format, 1280 x 720, audio bit rate 44kbps, audio sample size 4 bit, audio format MS ADPCM, Frame rate 30 f/s, data rate 4111kbps, video sample size 24 bit, video compression FFDS). I've installed the software from the CD, including FFDShow. When I play back the video in media player classic, the audio runs at the correct speed but the video plays at about 30% of normal speed so they're completely out of sync and the sound finishes ages before the video. If I use standard Media Player, playback is even slower.
There are programs on the start menu for "audio decoder configuration", "video decoder configuration", and "VFW configuration". They look complicated and I don't know what I'm doing with them so I'm not going to mess around with them without guidance.
Computer is 1.6 GHz P4, 1 GB of RAM, XP SP2 NVIDIA GeForce3 Ti 200.
Any help appreciated - there is a helpline but they're not open until Monday.
Sounds good - if it's something important, you could always capture at the higher res and convert it to something that will play on
your PC - DVD, for example. That way, you have the HD stuff
for the future.
