Video Freezing When Capturing

[Guest]

I am having no problems with WMM other than when I am capturing a video from
my Mini DV Camera. The problem is that when I am capturing, it will work
fine for a little while - it is a random amount of time - and then it will
just freeze out of the blue. I have had nothing wrong with this program
otherwise, but I also just want to point out that I have no filters or
anything that normally WOULD cause problems with this. If anyone has any
suggestions that would be great. Thanks!

Have you turned all other programmes off, such as internet, email,
antivirus, firewall, screensaver..... any programme trying to access the cpu
may stop the programme from capturing.

I make sure I am running nothing else before I open the program.

could be a faulty cable or pc/cam firewire port, which is giving a loose
fitting and just happens to break contact for a millisecond to stop the
capture.
Try testing all three items with other known to work ones and see what
happens.
