I'm having a nightmare experience with what should be a straightforward audio-for-video job.
My collaborator has given me a set of DV tapes whose audio I have to replace. With SAW that's dead easy if I can do a clean capture of the DV from tape in the first place. But even when recording to a newly-formatted HD partition, I'm getting dropped frames with various capture software (including SAW Video Viewer).
What confuses me is the fact that the 'dropped frames' counter on each of the capture apps always reports '0 dropped frames', yet I have lost them in the AVI file.
So here's the question: where does the 'dropped frames' counter get its information from? Is it something that comes from the underlying DirectShow functionality? If so, is it only telling part of the story?
Any light shed on this would help me for the future.
Thanks in advance,
