Yes, those factors can definitely cause dropped frames. I've experienced that myself years ago.

Now I maintain a fairly high end machine specifically for my image and video processing. Dual core proc. (upgrading to quad proc. soon) 3gb ram yadda yadda yadda.....

You really want a fast computer for video....Not just editing but primarily for encoding. I batch encode 30 minute vids with multiple codecs and bitrates and I can tell you that it puts a hell of a lot of strain on my computer......Can only imagine how long it would take on a slower machine.

I own a similar JVC deck and that's what I use to import SD video into my computer. I did not see any difference between using the deck or the cam other than less wear and tear on the cam itself.
