DC10 PLUS - Loss of audio

[brascec]

I'm using DC10 PLUs with P4 2800 MHz & WinXP SP2.
I'm using STUDIO 9 PLUS , previously STUDIO 8 e STUDIO 9.4.
In all cases I always had the same problem : during capture if happens that there are some video discontinuities (black and white strips for some seconds due to different movies on the same tape or inside the same movie) this causes the loss of audio in the recorded file, even if the audio is present looking at the preview during the capture.
Can someone pls help me about this topic ?

I struggled with a DC10+ for about a year before resigning myself to the fact that it couldn't produce results that were to my satisfaction. On an Athlon 1800 w/ 512MB RAM, I needed to run the PC with basically just skeleton services and use first-gen VHS tapes with Studio 7, otherwise it would be dropped frames galore. See my very first post at this forum - https://www.videohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=192281 .

I think I may have even experienced what you are talking about here - I seem to recall only getting audio on the first time I pressed "capture" in any session - as soon as I would stop capturing, or due to the ordinary quality of the tape I dropped heaps of frames, the audio would go. Even if I were to stop the capture and restart capturing, I would not get any audio at all until I rebooted the PC.

My "fix" was to buy an ADVC-100, and I haven't looked back ...

It a bit tough to grab video from a tape. Usually you need some form of TBC to clean up the signal. Even a Analog to DV converter will go mad some times on tapes with different clips on them.

And studio does not make thing easy. Be nice if AVI IO would work under XP as it does under a Windows 9x OS.
