Hey PapaJohn I'm having the same problem as Nicky. And I'm having trouble
recording movies to tape that I have successfully recorded to tape before.

I tried a small two-frame movie as a test, and it just kept coming up with
ridiculous projected times for the recording - the last one was 512 minutes!

Is this something to do with virtual memory? If so I'm not too sure what to
do about that. Can you help? This is a wedding video that the newly married
couple are getting impatient for!

Doesn't seem like it would be virtual memory for that small a file.... maybe
a source file of a type it can't handle...
