I have a real old AIW 128 Pro capture card I've been using with Virtual VCR/Morgan Multimedia M-JPEG V3 codec. After I capture, I then ecode to either DivX or MPEG2. The results have been very good if not a bit time consuming.
I'd been chatting to a friend about it and he suggested/gave me Power VCR to try as it encodes to MPEG2 as it captures. The software seems to do a good job. However the one thing I do not like about it is that it doesn't tell me if there were any dropped frames.
Is there any way to test it for dropped frames thoroughly? I did try loading the MPEG2 file into Vdub-mod and click on goto next dropped frame and it said there were none to be found. But am not really sure if this really means there are none or if it means that VDUB has no way to know with the power vcr MPEG2 file if there are dropped frames or not.
Is there a way to really test for dropped frames? I've only run the capture for about 40 minutes and both the sound/video seems to stay in sync so far. Nor can I see that anything is dropped. But I'd still like to know for SURE if any frames were dropped.
