I use vcr to capture television programs with a brooktree tuner/capture card. It seems that the channels at the lower end of the spectrum (ie 2,3,4) have poor reception due to bad in wall cables. When I do captures on these channels drop lots of frames in an hour. Channels at the higher end of the spectrum do fine. Machine is a dual P3 933 with 1 gig of ram, and 170 gig of ATA 100 7200rpm drives. Capture thread exiting Captured 111504 frames. Frames dropped in capture: 652 (0.0%) Frames dropped in encoder: 1191 (0.0%) Exiting..
