I went ahead and tried it, and your suggestion worked really well. I limited capture now to 30 min so it won’t eat all my memory and then imported the files into my project on the drive. It’ll take a bit longer, but at least it’s working!

The drive has one 400 and two 800 ports, and my laptop only has one 400 port (no 800s), The deck is a Panasonic AG-DV2500 – just the DV out. Once I get everything in, the connections won’t be an issue anymore.

Thanks so much for your help! Brilliant!

That may work, except that I only have the one 400 port on my iBook. If I use it for the deck, I can’t connect to the drive. Would you suggest capturing locally and then transferring the files to the drive later? Can I do that?
