Choppy video capture

[K]

Hi...
I've used MM2 a few times and have had no
problems...until now!!! When I start the video capture its
VERY choppy in the preview screen. I have a 256mb ATI
Raedon 9600 Video card and a P4/2.4ghz system with 1gig of
memory, so it shouldnt be the system. The camera is a sony
trv-250 connected through a USB port. Ive rebooted the
system,checked for updated video drivers and nothing seems
to help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance....
K

my 3 best tips


try defragmenting your hard drive - even if it says you do not need to

turn off antivirus software

don't surf the web or run apps during capture

I think you had been luck in the past. The USB transfer
rate is too slow. Try using IEEE 1394 (aka iLink or
firewire.)
