Movie maker freezes during capture

Unfortunately Movie Maker doesn't work well with analog connections. It is
better to connect the VCR through a digital pass-through device and then to
your computer so you would then be capturing a digital signal. Some digital
camcorders offer this feature otherwise you can purchase a Dazzle80 which
will perform this task.
Your other option is to use the software that came with the capture card.

How are you connecting the camera to your computer?
