Dropping frames, tried all obvious stuff PL Help

[cjmathews]

I Think.. Hope you can help - read previous postings. transfering from a panasonic DV via firewire to a P4 XP PC. checked drive settings (dma), de-fragged, got rid of spyware. Tried several different software incuding WinDv but am still dropping 1/4 frames when transfering to PC. Am desperate to get my movies onto my PC.

Any ideas/ what am i missing?

Can you advise what capture software you are using, and any other details in regard to capture settings.

Thanks
