dropped frames

[per øllgaard]

I have a problem when I capture video from my DV camera through Firewire into my PC.
There are several dropped frames, no matter which softwear I use.
This problem seems to increase.
My PC is a Acer Travelmate 630, the Camera is a Canon 550I.
I hope somebody can help me.

Thank You

Some of my video editors drop frames never, occasionally and every time when capturing. Perhaps you could give more details of your computer. If every one of your editors drops frames, it may be that your computer is not fast enough.

reboot before every capture, turn off the video preview, and don't touch anything while capturing.
