Hi
I am a getting a little desperate ATM as I am eager to start a major job and having capture trouble!!
I will be editing a 90min doco which I had hoped to store on a 500GB external drive to allow me to take the project between two systems, keeping backups of the veg files separately. I purchased and installed a new WD 500GB My Book Premium that runs on Firewire400. I wired it up to my system (DELL XPS 710) through the single firewire port on the motherboard. I then wired my DVCAM deck through the front panel firewire port (I imagine a hub) and attempted a capture. I immediately began dropping frames like crazy until my PC froze up and the HD required a format...
What am I doing wrong? I can capture to my internal drives from the deck wired in the same way and can also copy large AVIs over to the drive...
Any help would be so greatly appreciated!
