yeah don't delete java. it's a dot net thing anyway. shouldn't have said java.


it's unlikely that your problem is media manager with the dropped frames. I just wanted to take it out of the picture and see if you still had issues.


some of the things you can do...

defrag hard drive.
empty space on hard drive. full drives are more prone to dropped frames.
replace transfer cable
check that your computer meets the minimum system requirements.
turn off your antivirus while capturing.
turn off any unnecessary system services while capturing.
try another tape. maybe that one is a bad capture. that happens from time to time.
clean the heads of the transfer deck.
