Is it correct to say that when you capture to your on-board hdd it's fine but you want to use the external drive due to lack of space on your main hdd. You capture game play on the PC to a 1TB external hdd and your video skips frames and messes up. Since it's done on a separate laptop and you are transferring it after the fact it has no bearing on the PVR2 capture going bad. So if now I have it correctly the commentary capture is a red herring at this point. Ok at 1st you were doing both on the PC but I see you used someone's suggestion to split the process between the PC and laptop but you say it didn't help. It doesnt matter if the software is free or not, as long as it works.although im not interested spending alot on a piece of software ive tried OBS and FFSplit, but i keep getting errors so they wont work. Ive read that Capture4Me and Gamercap work with it but theyre made by the same people who made Capture ( NextPVR i believe) so im a little apprehensive about spending $20-$30 on something thats gonna have the same problems or other issues( inb4 i dropped $150 on what is slowly becoming a fancy glowing paper weight ).

what i wanna know is, is there software out there that works with the HD PVR 2(GE) without taxing my computer too much(Capture when not recording uses about 33% of my processor, when recording its over 50% without any other programs running) and that can produce videos without any problems i.e one that i can import into adobe premiere, add my commentary and render without spending hours of editing. Ive posted here in the past about my problems with Capture( thread is here: ) and the problem persist. Ive been using Hauppauge Capture to,well, capture game play footage from my xbox and im getting pretty frustrated with it(and fed up with Hauppauge in general).
