The front-end app, vcr, reports no frame losses in either capture or encoding (NTSC, 29.97 fps, 320x240), except for losses right at the start of the process (this startup loss has always happened, even on the older systems). But the actual avi file created as output, when inspected using VirtualDub, is missing roughly half the frames ... with the consequence that the file seems to play at double speed in xine, VirtualDub, and WMP8. Audio is out of sync too (more audio is missing than video, so it runs out first). The same problem occurs if I capture at 15 fps or even 5 fps. I also notice that CPU use (as reported by "top") is surprisingly low, about half what I see on the working P-III systems.
I'm really not sure even where to look for the source of this problem. Might it be a failed dependency (the newer systems work because the packages were held back during updates; I'm only trying to "retrofit" the newest, problem system)? Would I be better off using a newer .deb (apparently the last one I can get to wotk is 0.7.27, and I don't know where to find it)? Could it be a hardware issue of some sort (all the hardware on the new system is a little bit different from the older ones)? What am I not thinking of? What info should I provide?
