thank you for replying.
my software is on a disk of 17GB 9GB are free. my second disk is 596 GB with 530GB free. so it shouldn’t be a shortage of space. i capture with digisuite the dvcpro deck does not have a firewire card so it’s .avi but not via firewire. it captures fine but on playback it drops frames and then freezes.
i doubt the network administrator would let me operate without norton. i’m pretty sure there isn’t an automatic virus scanner, and i don’t have a document scanner connected.
