Well I tried some more trial programs including MediaStudio, and it locked up just like it's cousin VS did, but I did get WinDV to work...at least it did for 42 minutes when I stopped the capture. Thanks to all for all of the suggestions. Trevor my hard drive does not have quotas enabled, so that is not it. Couldn't find any where on the computer to turn off firewire polling. Microsoft website talked more about USB polling. Might not ever figure this one out, but as long as I can get the capture to my harddrive I can live with using one program to capture and still use VS to edit. Thanks once again for taking the time to help out.

You'll have to give me a couple of days but I have started a Tutorial that may or may not cure this problem
"Creating a Video Editing Profile"
(it's a part of the overall Camcorder to DVD Tutorial but being dealt with as a separate article)

Not much in it at the moment but could be worth taking a look in a couple of days time. It depends upon how much free time I get at home as to how quickly I can add more to it.

Hi,
I was cleaning out some old bookmarks, and came across the bookmark I had for a user who solved his problems using a firewire external hard drive (issue on polling). This was what the bookmark had:

I know the OP does not have a firewire hard drive, so this is probably unrelated...Apparently WinXP Pro defaults to having external 1394 drives polled at regular intervals so they can be removed without permissions and this polling causes dropped frames. To fix it you open properties for the specific drive and select the optimize for performance button and this polling stops. Hope this helps someone else!

Has anyone had any problems with SATA hardrives
After much trial and perseverence...I tried two other computers and could capture fine to both, but still had problems with the original computer. The only difference that I could find was the original computer had the hard drive connected to the motherboard using a SATA connector, and the two that worked had IDE connectors. Now supposedly the SATA interface has some really good tranfer speeds, 1.5Gbs-3.0Gbs. At least that is what I could find on the internet. To verify that this was the culprit I took the hard drive from one of the other computers that I could capture fine on and put it in the original. Sure enough it worked. Has anyone ever had a problem with Firewire and SATA before? The bios was set correctly for SATA enabled and set for IDE. The only other options was to set the hard drive for RAID. So what I did was put the original hard drive back in and add another IDE hard drive connected to the IDE connector on the motherboard. It seems to work. Again has anyone ever had problems with the SATA hardrives?
