Transferring Videos from Camcorder to PC using Kino

I am having trouble transferring videos to my PC from a camcorder. I am using Kino as my software to capture videos from a camcorder. It works normally when I control the camcorder but sometimes, Kino would stop updating, resulting to staggered frame counts. To resume, I would have to restart Kino. Please help me solve my problems. I would really appreciate your useful ideas.
