Free upgrade for current owners. For what's new, see:

Haven't installed it yet but hope it fixes the occasional pixel blocks I get when simultaneously capturing HDV and converting to CF intermediate. By occassional, about 1 in every 10-20 clips I capture have a half second of random pixel blocks in the lower part of the screen.

Half a second is about the GOP length (15 frames).

edit: Incidentally, I've never seen this problem in my work. Originally (v1.5) sometimes I did get an occassional frame with blocks (like SD drop out). Also I had inconsistences in cutting clips. I decided to separate the processes of capture and convert (on the basis that this would reduce the computing load) and have done this ever since. In fact generally I don't cut clips either, since I prefer to look through all the material before I start cutting it up (you can tell that I'm an old linear film editor!).
