Defrag the hard drive?

Defragging will make no noticeable difference at all. Make sure there are no other processes running on the computer. Thinks like virus scanners are notoriously uncooperative with VidCap.

Download the free program ENDITALL. This will stop most of the programs that are continually running in the background and allow your computer to use its power just for your editing.
I also had a problem with dropped frames and found out it was a bad firewire port. replaced the firewire and it worked fine.
