My heart bleeds for you totally on this one - so much so that after about a month of trying everything to get my 1394 camera recognised by SP2 I finally quit and bought a USB camera.
I was disgusted by the usual vendor response - in this case SHARP that they did not support the model.
I checked many a forum and found that SP2 screwed up firewie connectivity.
I updated any drivers I could lay my hands on for oth the caera and its connectivity software........... I even downloaded the so called windows hotfix to correct the hotfix.......
Nothing worked - absolutely Nothing! Nada! Period!
The USB cam for now interface is as sweet as a nut and even supports DV- Dv connection. New one is a JVC GRD-290. It lacks on one or two of the features of the sharp though. Seems you now need your old cam to do the hard stuff and the new one as a means of getting the movie onto your PC!
It sucks! It really, Really Sucks!!! Windows SP well and truly Mucked everything up and they (Microsoft)failed to fix the problem. And it seems that The cam companies who bundled their cams with Firewire conveniently just washed their hands of the whole mess.....
My Firewire cam incidentally cost around ?1200.00 and is now virtually useless as far as editing goes........ My USB2 baby cost around ?450.00
Sorry I cannot offer any more positive advice than 'Go out and buy a new Cam'. So horrible has been my own experience on this very matter!
Reading further into your post - you seem to work pretty methodologically.I work similarly and yes typically when encoding I cannot do much else, so strangled is my CPU memory. I have lots of it- but te more memory you put on your pc e it virtual, Video, Ram or whatever- the more these processesses seem to take!
As for the grinding noise - I don't get that on the PC but et lots on the burner - a USB2 Pioneer DVR-108 16x. The drive never even squeaked for the first 3 weeks or so and then it turned maically into a grinder!
Reading the final part of your post, I would suggest you go into the nero log file and save it as a text file. Omit your serial number and post the final part of the log from the divider secion as a new post here. Title it dear Creaky!!! He's been pretty helpful to me here on a few occasions and has a pretty good idea of what he's talking about! I'm sure he can offer an answer or two as to what's happening to the burn process......
Hope it works out for you!
