Hi,
I hope it's OK to post this here. If it's the wrong place, I apologize.
I'm trying to capture a one hour D8 tape from my camcorder, via the firewire, using Windows Movie Maker II.
Capturing under DV-AVI settings I should see a file size of around 14GB, but mine is about 5GB. The playback is choppy, both the video and audio.
I did this before with no problems. Only difference is this time I'm using a second drive ( second 120GB partitioned ) to save the captured files to.
Is this simply a matter of disabling the file indexing for the new drive?
Did it not happen before on the old drive because there were many files already on it? File indexing was enabled on the old drive I saved to.
My anti-virus was disabled too.
I've posted this elsewhere with no luck. Please help.
My ultimate goal is to get two one hour D8 tapes onto one DVD.
Thanks in advance.

File indexing shouldn't have any influence (it only indexes "office" type files such as text and spreadsheets).

What kind of connection does this second hard drive have? Is it an internal IDE drive? SCSI? USB?

Does your capture software warn you about any dropped frames? Can you still capture correctly to your first drive?
