Hi,
Thanks for your original response. In reply, its a brand new hard drive (so
I havn't defragged it) with an NTFS partition and my OS is XP. I have tried
using Windows Movie Maker as you suggest and I don't get the same problem,
the only thing is that when I try to configure it at 720 x 576 I receive an
error message and I am unable to capture, it will only work at 720 x 288 or
lower which means poorer quality.
I am sure that it is not a memory issue as i have now added 512MB from my
sons machine to my original 512MB.
Any more suggestions ?
