Capturing: Lost Frames Every 10-15 Mins

[Learner]

Hi, This drive me a nut. I am using virtualdub to capture avi file @640x480, ntsc. It captured ferfect 0 lost frame after 10 - 15 mins suddently lost frames about 80 - 100 frames in a row then it stops and run fine (no lost frame) for another 10-15 mins then lost frames again for a few seconds (100-200 frames). Can anyone give me an ideas why?????


My computer is Intel 933MHz, 512MB RAM, WINXP pro (just reformat 40gb HD and installed requirement files to do capturing and encoding video) 40GB , blank 80GB captured drive, EIDE100, 7200rpm with dma enable, no other applications running. Turn off all screen saver, power saving.

Hi Kwag, I will pick a lottory ticket on the way home. So wish my luck on the lottery ticket instead of captured driver of course, you will get the commission too if the luck strike on me

Thanks for the link.

Hi Kwag, The new driver doesn't fix the problem. Thank for your supports

Hi Gandalf, It worked like a charm. Actually, still had some lost frames but only 6 frames out of more than 100,000 frames. So I am happy with it.

if you can read german, you can look to this german board, where users talk about capture with tv-card or capture-card and other problems round DVD and SVCD.

I am using btwincap version 5.2.9 under Windows XP Home and Windows XP Professional with a WinTV GO card. No problems at all.

I loose maybe 2 frames in a 2 hour capture at 29.97fps at 352x480.

Hope this helps.
