I use pinnacle studio plus to capture & edit my videos in DV format.
Sometimes when I'm capturing video. The video gets frozen(Like on a scratched DVD) & some of the audio is missing what's the problem?
It's hard to say exactly, there could be any number of reasons. Are you using a FireWire cable for capturing? I find that a direct link between your camcorder and computer is the best route, I've never had much faith in those so-called "capture cards." Ditto USB capture devices - Firewire is the best way to go when capturing DV, hands down.
Another thing to make sure of is that when you're capturing, you're NOT doing anything else. Any little hiccup in available processor power or RAM can make or break a capture. So when capturing, don't surf the net or use an instant messaging program or play Tetris or anything else. ONLY do the capturing, then when it's done go off and do whatever else you want to do. In short, capturing video doesn't like it when you multitask, so don't tempt fate.
Finally, if you're having problems a LOT when capturing, try ot capture smaller chunks at a time. Sometimes if you try to capture too much in one go (like a full half hour or hour's worth of footage all at once without stopping), it can cause the audio to "drift" or if there's a hiccup it can corrupt the capture entirely when it tries to finalize it after you click stop.
These are the most commons things I can think of off the top of my head. Hope that helps!
