Having just flamed Digital Origin for MotoDV's DVPlayer, I think a correction is in order.(posted 9056 days ago)I just installed updated drivers for my ATI Rage Fury video card. (Specifically, the new drivers are the "W86076en" release.) Afterwards, I tried DVPlayer again. Whereas before I would only be able to get the 13 minute video to play without crashing the system one out of eleven or twelve tries, I was now able to play it back six times in succession without a single crash -- or, for that matter, any frame drops due to "late interrupts."
Now, I haven't tried the MotoDV _capture_ program (which was also giving me dropped-frame problems earlier) since changing the drivers, so I can't give the whole package a clean bill of health yet. However, it seems as if there was some sort of compatibility problem between DVPlayer and the original ATI drivers that was causing most if not all the problems I was experiencing earlier. I don't know if any of the others reporting problems with MotoDV were using ATI video cards as well, but, if you were, you might want to download the latest drivers from the ATI web site and try it again.
