Disk Management for Video Capture
Hi, I’m needing some rather basic help here.
I am trying to capture video (from a Sony Camcorder via a USB connection) within Vegas Pro 8.0
Having experienced repeated messages telling me that the folder into which the clips were being saved had run out of disk space, I then turned to the help documentation for assistance. To start with, I didn’t realise that it was a good idea to capture all video clips to a different drive than the one hosting my Windows system, so I rectified this by connecting an external hard drive with 4 terrabytes of space (I don’t think I’ll ever use all of this!). However, having created new folders (including overflow ones), the disk management information is telling me that these empty folders are already 83% full and that there’s only about 9 minutes of video capture time left.
Can anyone enlighten me as to what I need to do to get things configured correctly? I’m doing research for a Masters, and need desperately to get all the videos transferred to the computer before I have to video some more tomorrow!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Verity

Capturing with Vegas I thought needed a IEEE-1394 (Firewire) connection. If your connecting with usb, that connector is for getting still photos off, or youe camera has a hard drive in it instead of a tape. If you have a hard drive in it, you should be able to see that drive when you connect the usb cable from within Winnows explorer. you should be able to see the video clips and copy them to the external drive you connected, Let us know, Danny Hays
