MF4 DVD authoring

I have never use MF4 to do capturing whether in digital or analog mode. I prefer to use Pinnacle Studio 8 & WinDVD Creator. I use MF4 for the authoring & burning only & I don't have any of those problems mentioned in this forum. As I mentioned in another thread, MF4 only recognise 1 drive on my PC - I have 3 DVD writers - 1 on IDE & 2 on RAID. I hope Ulead will have a patch soon so that I can make use of all my drives & increase the recording speed.
There may be a problem in the Capture engine or some compatibility problems but I won't waste my time using MF4 for capturing.

With my Raid systems the use of dvd writers is prohibited. Any slow
device is prohibited. Simply doesn't work.

How do you have them connected and using what hardware interface?

To my knowledge, RAID can be used for both IDE hard disks & optical devices. I have set up 3 computers using Silicon IO cards on an Asus 845PE MB - 2 HDD on Pri IDE, 1 CDRW/DVD Combo & 1 DVDRW on Sec IDE, 2 DVDRW on RAID Pri. RAID Sec is spare. No problems in burning DVD on RAID using Nero, Sonic DVDit & Pinnacle Studio 8.7 Only MF3 & 4 do not recognise the drives on RAID. You can see the selection but when you select a drive on RAID & put in an empty disk, an error msg says there is no disk in the drive.
