Working on a long project (1:10). Shot with two DV cameras. Clips are 10 to 30 minutes. Footage originally captured to a Seagate Firewire 500G External drive with Scenalizer. Started edit on my old p4 with 8.0b and had problems with crashes caused by age or undiagnosed reasons. Abandoned P4, finished an AMD Quad 9500 that has 2GB memory, 32 bit 8.0c, 160GB C drive, 750GB Capture drive, and 500 GB Raid 1 Finished Project drive.
1. Copied files and veg to Capture drive
2. Opened veg, timeline looks fine, Vegas functions properly, timeline has two video tracks, three audio tracks synced up. The project is a presentation/award ceremony with speaker.
3. Play thru footage once, then start a simple edit. At about ten minutes the Capture drive chokes on the main CU Camera footage. I try to cover it by moving a cut from the WS Camera to a track above. Doesn't work HD still chokes. The CU camera has the lectern mic track.
4. When I drag the cursor slowly, I see every frame. If I play it backward, It works.
Any ideas? Workarounds?
Thanks,
Ralph
