   Our broadcast journalism has the same sort of problem except probably not as prevalent. We capture HDV tapes onto the computer using a Sony capture device using firewire and using the sony vegas 9 capture software. The tape plays correctly and fine, but playback occassionally digitizes and gets artifacts and skips a bit. So if you figure something out, let me know what works!

   "The tape plays correctly and fine, but playback occassionally digitizes and gets artifacts"

   Is this on PC playback or capture preview?

    Sorry about that, I noticed that as well when I just reread it. Both the playback on the computer and capture preview in the software digitizes and gets artifacts and jumps around for a few seconds. While the tape is shows no problems at all. That's my problem at least, I'm not sure about cmfcrew.

   One of the following, you should expect problems:

    

   -5400rpm hardrive

    

   -slow computer

    

   -un degragmented drive

    

   -other programs running

    

   -not enough space

   xtr-91 yeah i used to capture to dv-avi but stopped doing that and went to .m2t as it is sonys version of the raw .avi but i do set my camcorder to capture in hd just cause i want the best quality capture possible other than that i retried it a little bit after and seemed to not have a problem so im not really sure whats going on now but my guess is that the laptop im using just doesent have the power who knows for sure

    Hi

   XTR-91 is pointing you the right way.

   Try: http://www.videoguys.com/Guide/C/Tech+Tips/Videoguys+Windows+XP+Tweaks+for+Non+Linear+Video+Editing/0xaa9bc196019348a2f78a2db7a34a49f9.aspx

   For older machines this is about as good as it gets - but very GEEKY and intimidating.

   You might need someone who understands the stuff above to help you.

   DV should not be that hard to capture.

   Your best solution may be to have a friend with a better machine help you out.

   Microsoft Windows comes with Movie Maker and can capture DV.  So a friend with a good computer and a Firewire port could help you.

   Hope some of this helps - Good luck
