    Posted by Frankie on April 7, 2005 at 10:41 am

    I just put a new HD in my machine. A 250 gig Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm with an 8meg Cache.

    As I was capturing I noticed 90 dropped frames in the first hr or so of capture.

    I then stopped the capture and the ‘capture complete’ window tells me I hav 0 dropped
    frames.

    What’s going on? 90 dropped frames as it’s capturing and 0 when completed.

    Is 90 dropped frames a lot? Is it normal? I never paid attention to this before.

    Yes. 90 is a log. “Normal” is ZERO.

    Are you capturing to your system drive? Take my advice… don’t do that.

    I used to do this but now I have dedicated capture drives. I ran into many problems while capturing to my system drive.

    Have you formatted the new hard drive into NTFS rather than FAT32?

    sometimes when I capture footage and there is black or blank spots between scenes, I drop frames, but it is usually only the first couple of the incoming scene and not a problem..Try to test on an area where there is one constant take!!
