Capturing Video Way too Fast???

[Guest]

I backed up some videos from my camcorder a few months ago and had no
problem. I put them on an external portable drive. Anyway yesterday i was
trying to backup some new video and movie maker is capturing the video at
first correctly but then it starts capturing it in super fast motion - the
voices are sped up so they sound really strange and the video is super fast
also. I thought maybe it was the disck but i tried two others. Then i tried a
new external hard drive and it still kept doing it.

Any idea why this would happen or how to fix?
thanks

what camcorder? What file types are you using?

it is a canon ZR45. And i'm doing the capture wizard and choosing the file
types it recommends which are video setting - best quality for playback on my
computer (recommended) then Capture Method - capture the entire tape
automatically. Then the type rewinds and it begins capturing. FOr the first
5 seconds or so it is normal then it goes into warp speed. The other strange
thing i noticed last night is after this happens and i close our of windows
maker my computer seems really faster in terms of opening things. it's like
my computer goes into hyper drive??
