I recently had to re format my HDD and install everything back. Also got a 250GB IOMEGA External HDD via firewire to be able to keep all my music and videos and not slow down the performance of my VAIO Laptop.
In the meantime, I upgraded to XP Service pack 2.
The first problem I found was trying to capture from my Mini DV camera, the capture program kept droping an amazing quantity of frames (almost 40%). I stopped and used Adobe Premiere LE, same thing. Then I used another one and same deal. I finally could import my videos using windows movie maker without a glitch.
Now, I edited my video and added some stills and FX and all in MOvie Studio 3.0, but when I save the movie it takes triple or more time to make a movie than it used to. For example, yesterday it took it almost 5 hours to render a 5 minutes movie (3 minutes video and 2 minutes stills plus music) it is way much faster rendering stills than video. And it used to take an hour at the most before re formating and upgrading.
Plus, when editing, I noticed that the image in the preview window jumps and sometime locks or freezes when transitioning from one clip to another.
Nothing like this happened before, is it Service pack 2? What's wrong what can I do? I'm just starting a video bussiness and can't keep up with this problem, just imagine trying to render a 1hr video, it'd take me 2 days or so.
Thank's in advance and excuse my english, I'm from Mexico
