Hi,
How full is your hard drive, and how big is your DV-AVI
file you are trying to record back to your camcorder? If
you have little free space on your HD, your DV-AVI file
may still be quite fragmented, even though you have run
the Defrag tool.
I have a Dell with a 40GB drive as well. I suggest
maintaining 4-5GB free space on your drive at all times
so that you can minimize fragmentation of your large DV-
AVI files. If your DV-AVI file is very fragmented, it
will record to your Camcorder with rapid "skips" or
a "stuttering" video appearance.
Try to free up HD space and rerun the Defrag tool. Then
try to record to your camcorder again.
Hope this is helpful.
Best Regards,
Dave

I've got a Dell 2.3 Ghz with 512MB ram and a 40 GB
defragmented HD, I'm trying to send a edited movie back
to my camcorder but the movie is really shakey like there
are alot of dropped frames or something. I can save the
movie as an avi. and it plays on the computer fine. So
then I tried burning the file to a cd and it was shakey.
Then I tried other programs to export to camcorder but
all are shakey, and I've tried saving movies to camcorder
on a mac and it works. So it must mean that my camcorder
is ok and its not the programs so it must be the computer
i guess but it does fine without saving to an external
source. Any suggestions please!!!!!!!!!!!
