Audio and video 'hiccup' when capturing from A DV camcorder

I am attemtping to make a video of a rock band from teh footage of 3 video cams. The main cam is continuos video and pristine audio right from the sound board.

The problem is that, whilst capturing, VideoStudio 9's buffer becomes full and it temporary halts the DV cam every 20 seconds or so while the buffer is being processed and then restarts it.

When I look at the captured footage, there is a visual and audio "tick" whenever this happened.

This has always been the case with VideoStudio. I have ignored this problem as it was not a big deal, but for this project, it is an issue.

HELP !

Do not capture in MPEG format -- capture to DV AVI first, then transcode. It appears that your PC is unable to keep up with the conversion in realtime and fills up the capture buffer, causing it to stop capturing until the backlog of data has been converted.
