Search around this forum , you will find a lot of capture discussions. One thing that springs to mind is heat, capture is disk and CPU intensive, if your CPU is running hot it could be having a "stroke" and causing the problem

The March 2005 issue of PC World has an article about some of the problems with XP Service Pack 2. They also briefly describe a Microsoft fix for Firewire problems with XP SP2. The magazine provides a link to the patch at find.pcworld.com. The solution number is 46420.

Thank You Im 90% sure My problems fixed. I just made my first DVD. I didnt have to edit the registry though, like it said on the update page?

I think the registry hack is only needed if you install an additional firewire card.
