Capturing Video from DV (poor quality)

Hello,

When I attempt to capture video from my DV Camera into Windows XP Pro
(using any program, e.g. Windows Movie Maker), there are parts of the
video that jump (they seem to fast forward). This usually happens at
the beginning or end of the clip.

I'm guessing this is a hardware performance issue, so here is my
hardware:

Athalon 64 - 3200+
1GB DDR400 RAM
7200RPM SATA Hard Disk (35GB Free, defraged recently)
NVIDIA GeForce 5200 (128MB)

Can anyone recommend how to avoid this? Perhaps a setting or hardware
upgrade?

Thanks,

Dean
