It is foolish to try to let the program access the files from a DVD rather than a local hard drive. The files might not be valid DV AVI files or maybe your computer is choking on reading the video files off of the DVD drive rather than a local hard drive.

I was waiting for this
- I keep a DVD disc, (sometimes 6-8 disc / 20min per disc / 60min a tape) of every event for quick access. Since I have 150+ tapes I'm using right now it's a lot of hard drive space, appx: 1500-2000 GB of space. Plus it's easy to grab a few disc and take them with me rather than carry external drives.
