Hi,

I'd like to share a problem that I've run into and haven't seen discussed on this web site. My computer is new since July, and already it's been back to HP for adustment/repair. I purchased a Media Center M7170N that has all the capacity I should need to capture my old VRC tapes onto the hard drive, edit them as needed, and burn them onto a DVD.

My problem is that when I capture the file is the proper size as a mpg file, but when I put it onto the editor,(used both MyDVD and PowerDirector 4) it will give only about 1/2 of what I captured. It's as though it has compressed the file I'm working on. The beginning seems fine as well as the very end, but the middle of the file seems to be overlapped onto itself.

I hope someone has heard of this because it's frustrating to spend so much time capturing, 10 minute files, 20 minute files, 30 minute files, it makes no difference, and then not be able to use them.

I had a small bit of success recently when I did a cold boot and got a five minute file to capture correctly, after that it went back to it's old ways.

Thank you
