Hmm I dunno if you can help

OK I apologise in advance but this thread was posted here under software and I have had no response but I know there are some very intellectual people on here who are also very helpful!

STUDIO 8

I have used this programme on several occasions to turn my digital recordings onto DVD.

I got married this month and converted the digital tapes to DVD using STUDIO 8 and it came out brilliantly. I kept all the auxillary files and other stuff on the hard drive as I intended to add to it when I had more time and more still photo's to add in.

Well last night I attempted this, but for some reason when I playback what I had already captured to the Hard Drive, its all terrible. Jerky, sound is all distorted and the picture is crap.

What I want to know is why this has happened?? I've played the media files seperatly outside of Studio 8 and they are the same.

No problem I thought, I will just capture the footage again from my camcorder, but although when I am capturing the playback on my camcorder is perfect, it is terrible going onto the computer.

What is the problem does anyone know, as I have used this programme countless times on this PC with no problems before......

OK since then I have found out that apparently Studio 8 reckons my hard drive isnt quick enough to capture any media whatsoever??!! I have defragged both drives, backed up stuff and deleted creating more space but still it wont work! Arrrggghhh

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and buy a new hard drive but I know the one I have at present has worked, and should work. The one I wanna buy is 7200rpm I think....

How do I find out what my current one is?

So annoying, but the wife is nagging me now! Help guys!
