I ripped a DVD the other day to a 4 year old Maxtor secondary drive. Went fine. Later I tried to capture some digital video from a Sony digital video camera through a FireWire card in my computer. I got dropped frames and crappy audio. So, how come I can rip to this drive but can't capture video very well? I switched to my primary drive and the capturing went fine.
Any ideas??

Ripping isn't anywhere near as taxing on your system resources as capturing video is. You can rip DVDs with any machine that has a DVD-ROM drive, regardless of speed.

Moving video from a DV camcorder is just a straight transfer of digital data via the Firewire port. It's not really "capture" if you're doing it right. Dropped frames and lousy audio is not the fault of the computer, it's your "capture" method or the camcorder. How are you transfering your footage?Originally Posted by CorvetteMike"Art is making something out of nothing and selling it." - Frank Zappa
