I bought my capture card to find out my computer is too slow to capture properly. I went to buy a new CPU, but the guy who I was planning to buy it from took ages, then said he couldn't sell it to me for some gay reason. So I went to another person, and I found out my motherboard can't support a CPU fast enough to capture. So I took my capture card + software + VCR + tapes etc to my friend's place and captured them on his computer. I had a compression program on floppy, but his floppy drive didn't work so I left the uncompressed files on his PC overnight. I sent him the program on MSN, but it only compressed them to 30MB each, still too big to transfer with 56k. So I went over there again today and burnt them all onto a CD. Now they are here, at home.
But that's not all. I can play these files, they run perfectly (30 fps, no audio yet, as planned). I copied them onto my hard drive, so I could put music on them with Adobe Premiere 6, then convert to WMV with Windows Media Encoder.
After putting music on with Adobe, the file size grows to about 700MB each. That's too big to run, so I convert to WMV (which also compresses it to 7MB or so). I play the WMV file and it runs at about 5 fps, but the music goes perfectly.
I tried converting to WMV without putting music on with Adobe, and it runs perfectly as well (small file size, no sound, 30 fps). So the option which makes it 5 fps must be in Adobe somewhere. It says the frame rate will be 29.97 fps in Adobe, which is good enough, obviously. No where does it say 5 fps.
Now I have two options:
1. Someone tell me how to make Adobe do it right, with 30 (or 29.97) fps. Then I can put music on, as they were intended to be (this is preferred).
2. I can convert to WMV (30 fps, small file size), but it won't have any sound.
Jon? Anyone? Help please?
