What are the factors that affect computer's video capture capability?
I have a TV tuner that also functions as a PVR. I can watch non HD programs on my PC without any problem (I haven't tried HD yet). And my computer perfectly handles all HD resolution files that I get from other sources. But when it comes to recording TV shows using the tuner's capture capability, even 720x480 videos come out choppy. Sometimes, it says that "the system is dangerously low on resources. Close all other programs and try again". Why? Does that mean I need more RAM, a better video card, or both?
BTW, I have Pentium 4 3.0GHz processor, and 1GB RAM. And some (probably cheap) onboard graphics card that is directly attached to the motherboard (not in a PCI express slot).
Any advice is greatly appreciated. :D
