Capture not working in MM2

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.video (More info?)

Movie Maker 2 (5.1 SP2, 2.1)
I know how the capture should work, as I have a computer (XP Home, IEEE card
port, etc.) and all works fine. I also have a computer (XP Pro, IEEE on
Mother board, 4 hard drives (2 IDE, 2 RAID)). The capture starts normally
(like I said I know how this works), then hangs up. Sometimes it will
capture a few seconds of movie, other times more or less captured.
WHY?
It is a real pain transfering files from the computer that works
(ironically my
wifes), to mine.
Any help, configurations, ..... that might be helpful??

With everything that you are running it sounds like it could be an
insufficient PSU issue.

Not sure what you mean by PSU (power supply unit ??); I should have
sufficient power.

Check dma is enabled on the hdd.
Turn off all uneeded apps, use something like enditall.
Turn off internet/antivirus/firewall/screensaver/powersave modes.
defrag hdd.
ensure you have plenty of space to save to, check location.
