dropped frames

[Mike Kujbida]

The FAQ at Edward Troxel’s site should answer all your questions.

[Stephen Mann]

Dropped Frames occur when your computer and hard-disk can’t keep up with the data stream from the DV deck or camera.

The most frequent cause is trying to capture DV to your “C” drive. I don’t use the Vegas Capture because I’ve always used Scenalyzer Live even before using Vegas, so I stick with what I know. Scenalyzer has a free demo download and it includes a disk write speed test.

Some people with marginal systems have had better luck using Scenalyzer for their capture.
