Live video capture is a real-time task. If the capture
pipeline can not process the frames at least as fast as they
arrive, if not faster, some will be dropped. Since video
compression requires a lot of CPU power, if the CPU is doing
something else, there may not be enough power left to
compress the frames in real-time. A smart preview system
will then stop previewing to try and squeeze out some more
power to give to the capture itself but that may still not
be enough and frames will be dropped.
