I've captured hundreds and hundreds of hours of raw dv avi to many different external drives with 0 problems. Been doing it for years. FireWIre or USB2.

B&H even sells video editing laptops with external drives as kits. So saying never capture to an external drive is ludicrous.

I'm guessing the problem here is the second laptop that doesent capture correctly probably has the capture drivers for another camera installed on it other than what he is using.

Also the drive does not have to be 7200 rpms. I've captured plenty of rawdv directly to my laptops 5400 rpm drives with no problems.
