damn. too much hopes leads to misery. i just thought to capture a whole tape tonight and started recording a cassette in the best conguration computer has decided. i couldnt go too much. i was noticing the hard disk free space was rapidly decreasing but i never thought that would happen because one year back when i was testing moviemaker (1) it was realtime encoding. so what? this time it was first recording the video as uncompressed and then only it was encoding to wmv.

i tested the same thing choosing lower bitrate (instead of choosing automatically decide the quality that could play in a local computer). and it didnt record as uncompressed first. may be the it is because of a slow processor (PII 400), wmm determined not to real time encode in wmv format, when we chose automatically decide the best quality to play back in a local computer. for faster processors i think it will encode real time. i am not sure, i havent tested in a fast processor yet.
