I use a number of disk racks and lately I've added a few more to the bookshelf to cope with huge amount of work. Anyway I'd bought a 150 GB WD drive some time ago but only recently tried to capture to it. Vidcap dropped frames in huge burst so I gave up on that and captured to another drive and then copied the files back to the removable drive.
Anyway due to pressure of still more work today I bought a Seagate 200 GB drive, put it in another rack and the found I could partition it OK but the format didn't domplete correctly. Underterred I used Seagates installation utility which reported it needed to edit the registry to provide support for drives over 137 GB. Whopee, I thinks, found the problem and all should be well now. Sure enough, drive shows up in Windoz, copy a few huge files to it just to be sure, no problem.
Fire up VidCap 4 and 0:00:01:03 into capturing Vidcap locks up. OK, so try VidCap 5, same result!
Sussed out MSDN, checked registry entry, checked, I'm running SP5 would you believe, so 48 bit LBA support should be there. Heck I can write big files to this drive no problem and this problem looks very much like what was going on with the 150 GB WD drive as well. Oh and yes the BIOS sees the drive correctly as 200 GB.
Now I know this isn't a Vegas problem but I'm hoping someone has had a similar porblem and might have a clue as to a fix. I COULD capture to another drive and move the files to this drive but that's doing little for my workflow.
If it means anything I'm running a Gigabyte MoBo, around 2 years old.
Perhaps the answer is I'm stuck using drives of no more than 137 GB?
