Last night I did some capturing with my Digital Camcorder and also my ATI All-in-wonder. With the camcorder, I used WinDV to capture and ended up with 5 dropped frames after about an hour of capture. With the ATI, I captured two Hi-8 tapes and ended up with 11 frames and 13 frames dropped, with each tape being around one hour, captured with ATI MMC. I did notice that each Hi-8 tape immediatley had 1 dropped frame as soon as the tape begins. I didn't sit through the whole process to see where the other frames were dropped. Each Hi-8 and the DV each had several stop/start points on the tape with possibly some blank space in between. Could that cause the dropped frames? Should I just scrap what I have and try to capture all of it again?
