Skipping while saving movie to camcorder

I have a 40", rather complex movie saved on my computer
(in wmv format) that I'm very happy with. What I am
trying to do now is to save it to my Sony digital
camcorder so that I can record it back to both VHS and to
DVD (through my Panasonic DVD recorder). My problem is
that every time I save it to my camcorder, I get skips
(in both the audio and the video). It seems like my hard
drive can't keep up as it's transferring the movie to the
camcorder. I have a Toshiba laptop with a 40 gb hard
drive, 512 mb memory, 2.0 ghz P4 processor.

I'd appreciate very much any ideas you have.

Do you have an Intel motherboard?
