Probably, this is "normal" - caused by two issues: non-interlaced capture format and unsynchronized video and display frame rates. I expect that you are making non-interlaced video files - MPEG1 files are always non-interlaced at least. So your 50/60Hz field rate becomes a 25/30Hz frame rate. Secondly - this will not be an exact multiple/divisor of your display frame rate - so some video frames are visible on the screen for differing amounts of time. > The tool that does give the smoothest (quite acceptable indeed) > capture is mp1e but the lack of A/V sync with it is unacceptable I'm > afraid.

I'm surprised at your results with mp1e - that gives me well away best AV sync for me. I also have your problem with RTErec (its a problem in the RTE library). I haven't had a chance to test the rest of the XXXrec tools. Steve
