I'm capturing (USB SVideo, DVC-100 Dazzle) to VirtualDub2 on a Windows 7 machine, settings are 720x480 29.97i. I'm using the Lagarith Lossless Video Codec no audio compression, with no dropped frames after capture. After video capture in file manager in windows properties or in VLC media info the file frame rate displays 29.970030, which is great. However, when I'm deinterlacing QTGMC in AvsPmod the clip indicates it's 29.905 fps which worries me. When doing a few test captures in VirtualDub2 I noticed that the average capture frame rate fluctuates between 29.95 - 29.98 . Is this an issues?

I have around 40 VHS-C and VHS tapes to capture and have been going over a decent workflow the last 4 weeks to get this done properly. I notice when I capture footage using WinDV connecting a Panasonic DVX100b (MiniDV camera) as a passthrough for SVideo analog feed that after capture it is 29.97 . Upon bringing the captured 25-DV.avi footage in to deinterlace with QTGMC in AvsPmod the frame rate displays 29.97 . However I don't want to encode my VHS-C clips to the 25-DV codec, I'd use WinDV for all my MiniDv tapes.

Any advice on the frame rate difference would be great, I have some footage shot simultaneously and feel if one capture was at 29.95 and the other at 29.97 they might not sync. On the other hand It's technically not dropped even one frame, Am I over analyzing or will this be an issue down the road for sync?
