Problem, while putting back finished video back to Camcoder

Post by razugrg »

I was putting my finished 40mins video back into the Camcoder, but after 15mins I saw disturbance for few second. On that time hard disk makes little noise, which causes the problem. The video was not playback smoothtly.

Anybody can help?

it sounds like your hard drive is limiting your video to about 18 minutes or so which is a symptom of a FAT 32 format. Try converting your hard drive to NTFS which doesn't have that limitation on video. I had a similar problem and switched over my problem hard drive to NTFS in my windows XP computer. Check your hard drive file system. If you have windows XP go to "Start" then to "My Computer" then click on the hard drive icon and see the small menu information on "File System". If it is not a file system of NTFS, that might be the problem. If you decide to convert to NTFS you can not go back to the previous file system.

If the file was previously rendered to disk and is 40 minutes long, the problem is not a file system limitation.

More likely, a disk or CPU intensive process caused the transfer to be disrupted. Possible candidates are an AV program, the Disk Indexing Service, a low-memory condition that caused thrashing to and from virtual memory, or even spyware.

If the video file was never rendered to a DV AVI file after editing, I would do so first, and then output the rendered file to the camcorder. Any on-the-fly transcoding, especially if you edited the video and added effects or transitions, can be problematic because it must be rendered and output in realtime for the transfer to the DV camcorder to go smoothly.
