Ha! Well, I promised LordSmurf a contribution from any sale I make here. So how about we meet in the middle and do £449? I'll still give £50 of that to the site for its update/overhaul.

Any filters that could clean this up?

Thanks for your responses. So if it is VirtualDub's resync feature in operation, what would that suggest? A fault with my TBC? Could it, for example, be down to overheating?
