Your Specs seems to be O.K for capturing HDV, though might not be good enough for editing it.
Just a stupid question ( Cos I have seen it happen )are you recording over the previously recorded tapes, instead of using brand new ones???? the dropped frames might itself be coming from the camera and not the PC.
Just my 2 cents.
have fun.

I would Also try the white Balance,(Whithin the color corrector filter)lots of the time thats all you need!!!!!
give it a try

I did a short film the other day, and I actualy recorded a real conversation among my talents with the hand set placed close to the Camera’s mic, taped to a Desktop stand .( To avoid the variations in the volume )and imported audio only into premiere pro 2, worked great and sounds real ( You can never beat the authentic sound with post production tools????? I think !!!!!!. )

have fun.

How Much hard drive space do you have???? press CRT+ALT+DEL and make sure you end any unwanted apps that you don’nt need runing in the background.Also make sure your preset is under
High Quality 7 MBps CBR one pass.It has worked for me when I had similiar situation.
have fun.

if you have adobe Audition?????? you can do the following to get rid of noise such as hiss, hum, or a fan noise
Bring your wav file in to the time line, Expand your time line , select the area where there’s only that fan noise etc, choose noise reduction effect, it will open up another window, select load profile , preview, if you are happy with the result click on apply to entire file and you R done …. no more hissing hum or exhaust fan noise!!!!!!!

There’s also a preset in the effects folder its called PIP, Just drag that effect to the Track you want to use as an inset.
have fun

Hi Vanjamrin
I have and it seems like shooting HDV and then downconverting within the camera( Using i.Link Conv HDV-DV ) while capturing, gives better results that shooting SD to begin with.

Plus it always helps just in case you want to edit or deliver the same project in HD in the near future ( hopefully blue ray DVD writers will be cheap soon)
have fun
