I have a new Canon Optura 300 DV Camera.
I am connecting it via firewire to my PC through my
Creative Audigy Gamer 1394 port.
I have a fresh copy of XP installed, and followed
several "tuning" sites to improve performance.
My problem: saving to DV does not work due to constant
skipping. I was saving a 10 minute video direct from MM2,
following PapaJohn's advice I saved the video to AVI and
then tried WinDV or DVIO to send it to the camera. Well
saving to the AVI worked fine, and playback was smooth in
Windows Media Player. WinDV had the same problems
writing to the camera as MM2, and DVIO just crashes with
out accomplishing anything.
I have read through all of January's postings and it
really does not seem that I am the only person with this
problem... I can't tell if the problem is related to the
firewire card, the driver, the cable, or the camera.
I think that my testing so far has elminated system
performance and software as suspects.
I am going to try send the video using my Laptop and it's
firewire port to try and rule that out.. however it is
using the same darn windows OHCI driver... if that is the
problem I am just out of options!
I even tried a 20 second AVI and tried using both MM2 and
WinDV to transfer it with the same problem!
PapaJohn, you mention the Canon Optura 20 in your
hardware list, but not the 300. You mentioned that the
camera had the same problems that mine is having... did
you ever resolve it?
Have any of the rest of you who have been having this
problem solved it?
Sorry for the long message, but I would really like to
solve this problem.
