Picture skips during capture

[whoisquilty]

I've got some old VHS tapes. When I try to capture some of them, the picture skips and there are "flatulent" noises on the audio track.

I'm using a Canopus DVC-50 and a standard VCR.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this problem?

Copy from vcr to camcorder tape then capture to computer.

make sure everything is turned off as much as possible in your system tray before capping

Possible Low-Tech solution ???? ---
I don't know if this is like what you have, but I had a tape with spots of static in the audio. Everytime I heard static, frames would start to drop.
I ended up capturing in sections, stopping every time frames began to drop, rewind a few seconds, and start the capture again.
Then I glued it all back together in my editing program.

Also, my semi-cheap JVC vcr has a setting "Stabilize Video" that causes massive dropped/skipped and out-of-sequence frames, so I turn that setting off.
