ok, my new laptop comes with a 5400 rpm drive, sadly ive only just read about it not being upto the job of capturing video :( im hoping that there is some chance, it is a powerful laptop at 3.2ghz with HT and a 1GB of DDR ram, or will this make no difference? i hope it will work ok :(

You'd hope so  I've never tried capturing to my laptop, but have heard many people complain of dropped frames when capturing to external or laptop drives...

I use both my desktop and notebook for video and have no problems capturing to the internal drives of either. It's a different story with the 120gb external firewire I bought recently though. It drops frames like mad.

I returned a 120Gb external drive to a company recently as it was sold as capable of video editing, although a 5400rpm drive, and didn't even pass the transfer rate test.
When the company asked me where it was advertised as being capable of video editing and I pointed them in the direction of their own user guide, the company put their hands up and gave me a brand new 7200rpm USB2/Firewire drive. No problems since....

ok sorry it took so long, but yes, it captures fine, only rarely drops the 1 frame, so no troubles there, im not sure if it could be the performance of the machine tho, its a 3.2 with 1 GB of ram
