For quite some time now i have experienced "dropped frames" and i wasn't sure if the vcr was faulty (old) or the softwares or something else.
I tried many softwares: virtual vcr, fly2000tv, win dvr3.Recording in mpeg2 on the fly seemed to be ok while recording in .avi, huff lossless was a challenging task.
It's only today the answer of this puzzling problem became apparent:
Recording the videos into a new hdd was the solution.Not a single frame was missing.
I tried 1, 2,3 tapes: heck, everything was perfect.
It's not like i didn't know this actually but i had other priorities than buying a new hdd.
So to recap: 2hdd's (7200rpm or higher), 1 for the OS+ another to put your recorded files, that's the key of success.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

*** DIGITIZING VHS / ANALOG VIDEOS SINCE 2001**** GEAR: JVC HR-S7700MS, TOSHIBA V733EF AND MORE
-
I normally use 3 HDD's with new computer builds for video. Most video operations are between the two additional drives. I put the programs on the boot. The boot drive is accessed by the OS almost constantly, so not a good setup for fast disc access. Partitions on the boot drive don't really help either. Same drive, same controller.
But glad you got it all working better. -
That leads back to fragmentation problems, usually. Defrag. New hard drive not needed. Unless it's sharing the OS drive, of course.
Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)
