Every once and a while, we have to be reminded to RTFM.
I had a piece of DME that had a weird codec from a company that has long since closed its doors. It has audio, which is more important than the video. Omnivore was going fine for a bit, then started dumping frames like crazy. I have a few Omnivores, so I tried each one. Same issue. So, I tried different computers. Same issue. Then, a helpful voice reminded me to RTFM. It turns out that Windows Aero was getting in the way of a proper capture - the fix to which is found in the Omnivore-Guide.pdf which is on the Omnivore.
Right click on the desktop and select Personalize.
Choose one of the basic themes - like Windows Classic.
This solved my problem.
So, if you're having Optimization or Capture problems on Windows 7, check your Personalization settings - or RTFM.
