this messages pops up when capturing, "1% of frames dropped"

[thanggnguyen]

i was capturing old movies from my vhs collection when this message appeared. perhaps this maybe the reason why my finished captured file has a swirly looking line at the bottom of the viewing screen. if anyone know answers to these questions, please answer them for me. thanx everyone for helping me out

1% frame dropped is nothing it should'nt affect in anyway visible it only means you've lost 1 frame per hundred... 1 frame per 4 secs... as for the line i don't know if i see something. i'll get it to you aas soon as possible

That line is a typical VHS artifact. You don't see it on TV because of overscan, but it is allways there. Just crop it out. 1% frame loss is also nothing to worry about (if you didn't lose all frame at once)

First, What are you capturing with??

Second, I assume that your capture was terminated when when this meesage came up.

If you are using Virtual dub, then it probably means that you have a condition set in the 'stop conditions' settings. It allows you to set a stop condition based on the number of frames dropped. You may have it selected and set to 1%. (If my assumptions are wrong...hope you get some help elsewhere)

Regarding the dropped frame rate.....1% probably won't be all that noticable but you should be able to do at least 10 times better than that....so keep trying!

10x better is that 1% frame found? or 0,01% frame lost?

[Triffid]

To me, it is better if you loose less frames, so, I'm saying you should be able to get below 0.1% loss of frames (ie less then 1 in 1000...I average about 1 loss in 5000 at the moment)
