dropping frames recording in mpeg 2

[bartj]

i am using win dvd rec, winfast pvr , fly tv 2000 & nero vision express to capture tv & have experienced frame dropping with at least some of these applications.

is there anything i need to check to stop this?

i am capping to a seperate HD which has been defragged & using a seperate graphics card GeForce.

i am rec to mpeg2 to then burn to dvd

What is your CPU ?
How much memory do you have ?
What programs are running in the background (anti-virus/anti-spyware/webshots etc) ?
Do you browse while capturing ?

i have a P4 1.8
768 M ram
at the most i may have anti virus running but do try & remember to disable that before capping, otherwise def no applications
didnt think about spyware running though?
certainly dont browse whilst capping
also cap to a seperate HD

Search for a program called Enditall. I don't know if it still free or not. It will allow you to turn off programs and processes. It would help if you filled in you computer specs.

P4 1.8G
768 M Ram
Geforce 4 graphics card
on board sound card.
capping to seperate 20G HD

See the sticky about dropping frames, that's why its a sticky.

Put computer specs in your profile for future use.

Try capping with no audio as a test, onboard sound often an issue.
