I am using a pentium 4 cybermaxx pc designed for media work, with windows xp (service pack 1 only). 120 gb hard drive with 3 partitions ,
2.66 ghz processor, 512 mb ram, NTFS file structure.

I am capturing from the sony trv-25 as dv-avi files and editing them in the ulead media studio 6.5 timeline, then creating (using create function in the software) a final avi file on a seperate external 80gb western digital hard drive(formatted for NTFS).
Then to save back to camera using firewire, I am firing up the mediastudio software and clicking on export, where windows xp recognises my dv camera and ulead then takes control of the camera and sends the avi file back to tape.
It is worth mentioning that when playing back my completed finished master edit on my machine as an avi file, it is perfect, no glitches!!! But the process of saving back to tape for some reason causes a problem like i say at regular 5 minute intervals. (although it can happen elsewhere aswell)
Could it be the camera at fault??
I appreciate your interest in trying to help, If there is anything I have missed off from my setup, just ask.
Thanks
