have you checked your hard disk speed?

Disks should have a rotational speed of 7200 rpms or greater. As you
save more content to the disk, access and transfer times to the disk
increase to slow performance. If you work with disks at near-capacity,
use a faster disk (for example, one with a speed of 10,000 rpms) to
compensate for the decrease in performance.

If you use external drives, make sure that the cables can handle the
drives' data rates and rotational speeds. Having a large capacity UDMA
66 IDE or SCSI drive dedicated to video only is the best.

Also, Windows enables Direct Memory Access (DMA) by default on most
IDE devices . If DMA has been disabled, reenable it to improve the
transfer rate of IDE disks and prevent dropped frames and jerky video
during capture and playback.
