Not always, some (many?) of these are defective, which means they may add extra noise, dot crawl, or other issues that were never there to begin with. I took a shot on a random one of these from eBay and returned it (it was from store, so luckily they had a return policy).
My personal guess is that since you only get the dropped frames when using lossless compression, but no issues if capturing uncompressed, then it might be something related to the PC side/settings/vdub, not the analog workflow (card/camcorder).
Increase the chunk size and number of buffers under Capture> disk IO (in
virtualDub), this may help, also sth else might be using the CPU while you are capturing therefore resulting in dropped frames. Disable the internet during capture.
I have not tested Windows 11 enough to say the OS side is innocent, check the task manager while capturing to see the resources' usage and try to find the bottleneck.

probably sth as trivial as :
Code:
ConvertToyv12()
qtgmc()
will work (if color space is your issue)
