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.

I still stand behing my position about capturing to external drives. There is just too much for the video to go through to get to the drive. Maybe its just that im a stickler, but one dropped frame for me is enough to recapture the entire vid.
