The internal playback may just hide the dropped frames, while DR is honestly showing them.
If those shots are worth the effort, this method may help (we used it for BRAW):
- Save the audio to a separate file.
- Export the video as an image sequence.
- Sort that folder by size and kill all the very small frames (they are the dropped ones).
- Sort by number again, renumber them sequentially (there are dozens of free tools to renumber).
- Import the result as sequence, it will be shorter, but should have no dropped frames.
- Now use the audio, which has normally the correct length as a guide, and stretch the video to match.
- Use Speed Warp and render it into a high-quality codec.
My disaster protection: export a .drp file to a physically separated storage regularly.
