Well here's the thing. After months of hair pulling and adjustments to WinME ect etc, today I believe I have found out what and where my PTT problems have been eminating from. Are you sitting down - good. This is weird....
As all of those who have been reading my "Tale-Of-Woe" over this period - 6 months I think - this morning, I used a pure DV Capture from a rather cute Canon miniDV MV4i. I didn't use my Dazzle Hollywood Bridge [hold on people it's NOT what you think!], I didn't do any editing in VF - I just PTTed the same captured file straight out back to the Canon. Dropped frames. - However, having got the ambient and audio levels way down, I could then hear all that was going on my Dell schlap-top. Guess what, the dropped-frames, or blue screen, is happening at the same time as the pc's FAN kicks in!
Now what do I do? I suppose I could speak to Dell ect etc. But what else is lurking in my system I should be looking out for?
It was Chienworks earlier "Hmmmmm...." comment/s about there being something else going awry, that I should be looking at, which put me on a more analytical approach. I've never had the luxury of testing VF with a DV cammy, but now having tested my setup with this Canon means my Dazzle kit has been somewhat vindicated.
Thanks Chienworks - again!
Grazie
