Hi all,

Ok, I checked out the video capture and it is real good.

The cause of the problem is I am capturing to the C: drive and when Windows needs to access the swap file it can't because the hard drive is being maxed out to save the DV. Once I stopped the recording it snapped back to normal.

Another problem is that my note-book computer uses an Intel 82852/82855 Graphics controller integrated video that shares 64 meg of memory with the normal ram.

Solution: I connected an external USB hard drive and it works quite well now. The scopes are a little bit choppy and repetitiously so but not to a point of being annoying.

Someone said that the demo will corrupt the file if one captures more than an hour. I did a test capture of an hour and ten minutes (14 plus gig) and had no problems at all. Most of my captures are over an hour.

Mr. Mapes said that DV Rack can be activated on two computers. When I originally bought DV Rack, I didn't know that and the user agreement doesn't indicate this. That is the reason why I didn't just go ahead and activate it on my home-editing computer. I was concerned that if I did that I wouldn't have been able to do so with the Church system.

I am now using the note-book computer for the Church video so no more problems there. I do wish that Serious Magic would update the agreement to indicate that DV Rack can be activated on two computers.

Through my mom (whom I have to pay back) I just ordered DV Rack from BH to take advantage of the price they have.

Question, should I update DV Rack before I activate it?

So, it looks like I will be a DV Rack user after all.

Sorry if I drove everyone crazy with all this stuff. I hope and look forward to a positive future with DV Rack.

Thanks,

Danny Fye
