Dropped frames with TBC 1000?

[badonica]

Hi,

Been trying out a TBC 1000 which was capturing great then
frames started dropping and then the video picture distorted; went as if Macrovision had kicked in.
Was using:

ATI 600 USB
Virtual Dub 1:1:9
Windows XP
ASUS P4P 800 Motherboard
JVC HR-DVS3EK Mini DV SVHS (TBC)

Tried a couple of tapes, same results?

I’ve carried some MPEG2 captures on this set up with a Canopus EMR 100 USB
and there was no issues ( without the TBC)

Any thoughts?


Thanks

Guessing the TBC-1000 needs a recap. On mine, 80%+ of the caps were out of spec, with many being extremely out of spec.

I'm not totally convinced that you absolutely need a frame TBC if you're getting no dropped frames and no vertical jitter with a certain capture chain. I get it would be lame to have to re-capture something where these issues were seen after the capture though.

Open the TBC-1000, and take a photo of it. I need to see it. Just 1 clear photo of the insides is all I need.

Where did the unit come from?
When?
