Rick – If I read you correctly you stripped your SVHS tape with SMPTE time code which is drop-frame unless you specified otherwise. The consumer camcorder I'm assuming has the flash on it, as you are able to see it, my thoughts were with regard to the AG7750 and in what mode the SVHS tape was recorded. I think as a flash is fast, could be just one frame, and if you were recording with drop- frame on the AG7750, you would then lose it. The thing to do is an assemble edit w/o time code (just control track) to test this theory, and then check it frame by frame as you have. Also turn the TBC off and walk through the tape with the Jog control letting each frame roll up (no Dynamic Tracking.) Good Luck -JE
