Hi Danny,
Thanks for thinking along!
re dropping frames, I would not know for sure, in mediaexpress preferences I have the setting to stop when dropped frames are detected, and it does not stop, so I guess not.
re capturing to other drive, I already did and do that. I just did another test and it still is terribly out of sync.
I do have a tape in the camera, but yet component out.
Could you perhaps check the driver version in windows, not the software version number but in the windows manager, to see what version the driver itself is.
thanks
Oliver
