My experience is that short clips - up to 30 minutes or so - are likely to be fine. But any sort of anomaly can cause the picture to freeze for a few frames to a few seconds and to remain out of sync at least to the next glitch. The result is that capturing a lengthy selection almost always results in audio anticipating video. It can be corrected in Adobe Premiere or a similar tool, but the effort involved is prohibitive. I've found an occasional problem with the standalone, but it's rarely more than a few frames of error and it is corrected within a second or two; in short, it needs careful watching to be detectable. I've used a number of systems and a number of capture devices and programs with similar results. It is true that the more hardware and the higher-powered software are more resistant than marginal hardware and software, but getting an hour or more of material in without problems had defeated me. As usual, YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary. Mike -- [log in to unmask] http://www.mrichter.com/
