When using Pinnacle Studio Programs with Pinnacle hardwarecapture cards you must continually defrag your hard drive & constantlyreboot your computer & it is pot luck when you start to capture if you getout of sync or in sync audio capture when capturing in mpeg 2. There are somecapture cards with inbuilt hardware mpeg 2 processing available from around $199to $399 AU dollars. My advice to any person wanting to capture any analoguevideo signal in mpeg 2 you must purchase a capture card with built in audio in& mpeg 2 hardware processing within the PCI capture card this will avoidany out of sync audio problems when recording video in mpeg2. If you use Pinnacle Studio PCI – 500 or PCI -700 capturecards with studio 14 or Pinnacle latest Studio 15 the capture cards on windows7 64 bit will cause your computer to crash dump every time you try to captureany analogue video signal even when using the latest Widows 7 64 bit capturecard updated drivers from Pinnacle.įorget buying any video capture device via usb 2 or you mayalso suffer out of sync audio problems regardless of the brand. I own a Pinnacle PCI 500 & PCI 700 capture cards will onlynow work with Pinnacle Studio 11 & 12 on Windows 7 64bit.

Firstly I must say Pinnacle Studio havesome of the worst out of sync audio problems I have seen.ĭuring the past 10 years I have owned Pinnacle Studio9,11,12,14 & 15. I have much experience with working with many PinnacleStudio programs & capture cards.
