Vegas dropping frames on Capture
my system- I have a dual core processor 3.0 I think plateform is windows 7 with Vegas 11 8gb ram capturing with an AJA kona 1lh
when ever I try to load HDcam video from my tape machine via sdi it will capture about 10 second then it stats filling up the ram buffer which when it gets to 99% it starts dropping frames. then the clips end up with the audio line the correct length but the video is of course shorter. If I try to load more than 5 minutes of video it just goes into freeze mode. and stops capturing altogether. I have 2t storage on the computer made up of 4 500g drives. my programs are on a completely different drive (C) leaving me with 1.8t to load the video….this is a new issue I’ve had the system for 4 years I had the issue once before but it was because it was loading everything to my C drive. I just had the video card replaced could that be an issue? also I have clean everything off my video storage drive (H) but it will not let me reformat (claims the drive is beining used). but the only item running is windows disk management??? -

The HDD must work in UDMA mode (sometimes after a few drive’s errors Windows change the drives mode to PIO and the speed drops dramatically). One of the simplest ways to check drive speed — run something like HD Tune or HD Speed programs (both are free).
Also, I’d recommend to tune your antivirus for preventing checking for viruses in these huge capturing files.

I unistalled AGV and I downloaded HD tune ran it on wdc and it failed on Reallocated sector count. what does that mean?

I would not recommend you to uninstall AVG. You can simply switch the realtime monitoring off during capturing/testing.
If you have many reallocation sectors (and that number is increasing) on your disk it means that replacing the HDD is a good idea.
However, ignore the SMART info for a while. Just run HD Tune Benchmark by pressing ‘Start’ button on Benchmark tab (I’m talking about last free version HD Tune 2.55). Post your HDD model number (you can copy it from dropdown list of drives) and link to benchmark’s result (press ‘Save screenshot’ button after complete the benchmark and upload it somewhere).

One thing I have noticed that on the video I upload I get 4 files a clip file that is the video then the clip name followed by an AVI.SCC, (Name)AVI.SFK AND (Name) AVI.SFL ON MY OLD VIDEO THAT HAS UPLOAD CORRECTLY THERE ARE ONLY 3 FILEs. it doesn’t show a (Name)avi.scc file. ??

Pro 11 added closed captioning and the .scc files are a result of that feature.
If you have no use for this feature, ignore them they same way that you ignore the .sfk and .sfl files
