Capturing DV video from video camera in DVD (MPEG) format results in
frames lost and pixilated video. Out of 25000 frames I dropped about
2000. Any thoughts or best practices to avoid dropped frames?

Thanks for your feedback,
Ken

My dropped frames stopped when I turned off all USB devices including the
cable modem.

Use a program such as Enditall to stop as many processes as possible before
you start capturing - I have a network card that interferes with firewire
captures for some strange reason.

1) Faster computer
2) More efficient encoder.
