pinnacle moviebox usb

[tukker]

I have a pinnacle movieboc usb. It is running via an usb 2.0 port. After 1
minute the preview screen give hick-ups. I thought that it would'nt be seen
in the capture, but it is. It is lokklike that the datastream is not rapid
enough but that can't be the problem. I am using a AMD2800+, 512mb and usb
2.
Dous anyone recognise the problem?
Thanks

Look at this site:

Allright, another update for the MovieBox DV from me.
As is mentioned earlier, my MB gave me problems capturing old VHS tapes, my
analogue camera gives no problems at all.
The problem is that the box hangs when capturing only from VHS.
At first this only hapenned every 10 minutes or so, but after capturing the
first VHS tape , i switched to another tape, and there's where the trouble
started to get fenomenal, every 5 seconds a hangup, and MovieBox reset
necessary.

I contacted the Pinnacle Helpdesk here in Holland, at local telephone costs,
and they stated that there are 3 MovieBox series that are having
troubles.(GOOD supportline, no worries there)
When your number starts with : 203 560 644
203 560 685 or
203 560 666
Your box is in for a firmware update, according to Pinnacle

My box's serialnumber is one of them, so i'm advised by Pinnacle to return
the Box to my dealer, and they'll ship it back to Pinnacle where they will
do the firmware update, that hopefully solves the problem.

I'll start a thread on the forum to let u all know if this helped, cuzz i
don't think this is the place to be for this.

I'll be back......Scar

PS I have a MovieDV box

You may want to doudle check the requirements;
Your system may not be made to handle pinnacle type programs!
Basically their are two types: ones that gamers use and ones that are
good with office suites. You need the gamers type board and system.
Also it may need more video and page memory like 1GB( best for both to
have more memory).
