	Video capture is a delicate process. Depending on how powerful your computer is, you should consider closing all other software except for VirtualDub. Dropped frames can happen for a lot of reasons. A few dropped frames may be a minor "hiccup" in your system. If you are experiencing several, it is a good idea to reboot. You may want to set the priority for the VirtualDub software to be higher. Open Virtual Dub > Options > Main > Processor Priority. If dropped frames happen more frequently, you might consider rebooting your computer. If you are using a USB capture device, try plugging the device into another USB port on your computer.		Video capture is a delicate process.
