Even killing the process in Task Manager won't get rid of the program. And finally, I stopped the capture and tried to exit the program. I normally use WinDV with my Canopus and I don't remember more than a hand full of drops in several years. I had several hundred dropped in the first minute. I figured out how to use the program relatively easily and started a capture. Learning my lesson I hid the VCR control so as not to be tempted again and the lockups stopped but the VCR control would unhide itself from time to time. That I can understand as the ADVC-100 is an A/D converter and not a DV camera. First thing I found out was that it will lock up if you press any of the VCR buttons. Frustrating but hopefully now that Paul is back onboard working on the code he finally fixes this and makes it the ultimate capture app. Only problem is that it doesnt show the "lost frames" counter at the end of a schedule, it seems to disappear/reset.so unless you were there watching the app at the end you dont know if you dropped frames. Set the schedule to 3 1/2 hours and start a VHS180 tape and walk away, return for a complete tape capture to avi without wasted filespace. Nothing better for capturing from firewire to avi than this program now. I never get a dropped frame when capturing in 2020 on a decent PC. Now in 2020 CPUs are much faster, and so are SSD hard drives. Back in 2007 it used to drop frames because there is not much in the way of a video buffer in this prog and it was not very optimized, causing it to need a lot of CPU resources. I used to get all sorts of problems selecting the input source. Congrats to Paul for this update to 6.06. This has not been updated for over 13 years, since 2007.
