Part II: You do not mention if you have benchmarked your drive subsystem at a specific data transfer rate. Try a package such as PCTools to determine your drive throughput in Windows. It is possible that if you are trying to capture uncompressed or RAW video, that your disk subsystem just is not capable of moving data fast enough. The only solutions to that problem is to buy as faster drive system such as a PCI SCSI card, or a Fast & Wide SCSI subsystem (drive and controller) or possibly a Fast & Wide RAID setup. Of course another solution would be to add massive amount of RAM to your system such as 256MB or more if possible and encode to a large ram drive. The solutions are the same, ADD CASH & STIR! Dean
