Subject: Video problem with recording using RPG2+

I've encountered a recording problem with RealProducerG2 Plus that I hope
someone can help me with.

I am calling RPG2+'s rmbatch.exe from within my VisualBasic6 application to
record 30 minutes of audio/video (a normal TV newscast) four times a day.

When I play back the resulting .rm video file, on some recordings, the video
part of the recording will freeze, as if RP just stopped recording the
video; however, the audio continues on as normal.  This occurs on local 
playback
as well as streaming from the server and in several versions of RealPlayer 
including
RealPlayer 7.

In essence, RealProd records the entire 30 minutes I've told it to, but for
some reason, sometimes it stops recording video while continuing to record
audio.

You can see exactly what I'm talking about here at this link:

and at the 14:30 mark, the video freezes, while audio continues for the rest
of the newscast. (Note: Ignore the "snow" you see when the video freezes -
it just happens to be part of that commercial, which has streamed fine in
the past. My broadcast feed did *not* get interrupted, as it would appear.)

I have updated the Matrox video card drivers with the most recent versions
(about a month ago) and still have this problem on occasion. I've
double-checked all my RF and RCA (A / V) cord connections to make sure they
are nice and snug.

I'm using RealProducerG2 Plus (version 6.03.326) on a Pentium 3/550Mhz,
Win98, 256MBs RAM, 20GB hard drive (17GB free), Matrox G200-TV video capture
card (AGP). No other applications are running on this PC; only my VB6 app
and rmbatch are running while recording.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Any thoughts are greatly
appreciated!
