Need help with hopefully easy question
I’m using and easy cap 2.0 capture card to capture my videos. When I am in the capture window of Sony Vegas watching the preview of my video while it is capturing, there seems to be no problems with the look and the video of it. But as soon as I go to edit it, the video becomes all choppy and its very hard to watch it. Can somebody help me with this problem? If you need more information, just ask.

First, what are you capturing. Regular DV.avi (like from mini DVD tapes) should be captured via firewire from the camera or deck and do not need any ‘capture card’.
That said, what is your previewe window set at. Should probably be set at Preview (auto) anything higher than that starts to choke all but the strongest computers. Especially as effects are added.

I am capturing videos from my 360. So I’m plugging my AV cables into the easy cap and the easy cap goes into a USB port on my computer. Then I capture with Sony Vegas.

I would recommend connecting your 360 (what is that? I assume an analog unit) into a miniDV and then out via firewire to your computer. Firewire cards are cheap ($20-30) but your cam needs a pass through feature where it converts analog to digital. Most of themm do, even the less expensive ones. Capturing by USB is very iffy.

Oh, sorry I didn’t realize you do not know what a 360 is. Well it is short for the new Xbox game console. (The Xbox 360). Hope that helps you out a little more.

Get rid of the card you’re using. You do NOT want to try and capture via USB (at least if you want to keep your hair).
As Terry said, you can connect the output of the 360 to a miniDV camera and use that as a pass-thru device so you can correctly capture via firewire. Alternately, you can get a convertor which will do the same tihng. Instead of your USB unit, try something like the Canopus ADVC series or the ADS Pyro. Then you can correctly capture via firewire.
