I have been using VV3.0c for a while now with no problem capturing video. I just bought a 120gig/7200/firewire,usb2.0 external drive made by AcomData. I'm using the firewire connection and it seems to work fine in every way except for capturing video. This is the problem. Under preferences -> disk management when I point the output path to my external drive I get this warning:
Some disk management options may not work as expected. This feature is not configured properly. G:\Temp\ will have poor performance.
It is worse than poor performance, it is no performance. The tape on my camcorder rolls and the "capture duration" indicates capture is taking place but the preview window pixelates and no frames are captured. Is there anything special I have to do to configure an external drive to work or is that just a generic warning? Any other ideas? Thanks.
BTW - When I capture to this drive using the usb port on the drive it works but because my computer's only set up for usb1.0 it drops most of the frames. And of course I've disabled the screen saver, anti-virus, defragmented, ect...
