and also one more question about VirtuaDub under CAPTURE SETTINGS
where its says ADVANCE then Dropped limit 10%
next to it MAXIMUM INDEX INTRIES 324000 <------ what is this number for

You are capturing at VDubs default framerate of 15fps. If you are in a PAL area capture at 25fps, and 29.97 for ntsc. I find that if I capture at 15 it drops loads of frames but it is fine at 25.
