Dropped frames > 8fps with Personal Cinema

Any obvious things I'm doing wrong here? I have the latest WDM and display
drivers for the Personal Cinema GeForce 4 MX440, running on AMD 2Ghz WinXP
with all updates.

When I capture in from my composite source, I get dropped frames (about 1 in
5) at anything over about 8 fps. Have tried both Adobe Premiere 6 and
Windows Movie Maker.

The device is, I think, capable of 768 x 576 at 25fps.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

No, have defragged.
Have tried uncompressed and all possible combinations.
Have latest drivers for absolutely everything.

Any other ideas? Thanks.

Maybe a bad cable or capture device.

Ok have changed to version 1.9.1 of the WDM driver and it's a bit better
now, however I still get 1 dropped frame in every 275 or so. Any ideas for
final refinement?

I'm running in a clean install of Windows XP with nothing else running.

Thanks.
