My first question, is, "Why so fancy a computer, and
not spend more on a good card and good DV-codec...?" ;-)
(The computer is overkill for Mini-DV; the card and
MS codec are "underkill" for best results...)
After that (if you recover...;-), did you select
an audio-interleave number, then render what you
are sending out (set the "work area" bar over the
video area and hit the enter key to render the video,
then do it again with the camera recording to send
it to tape); did you disable all other programs,
including ones running in the background (especially
virus-checkers and screen-savers)?
