Hi,

I'm using the Dump filter from the SDK to connect to my HW encoder and
save to file.

When I playback the file I get a loss of content everey couple ~5
seconds for ~1/3 of a second (my source shows time code on screen).

Wondering if any body has seen this problem?

Would it be possible that the latency from the dump filter writing to
the HD could cause this?

MY encoder buffers ~2 seconds of MPEG2-PS and never experiences an overflow.

Thx

I vaguely remember about Dump filter problems mentioned by someone 5 years
ago or so.
I don't think they were related to regular drops, more likely to some data
getting corrupted at the beginning of captured file.

Is it possible that your allocator requirements are too tight? I don't think
HD would be the source of problems like this. We capture digital cable TS on
a regular basis (roughly 30 MBit/s) with no visible performance problems.
