Using La Cie external hard drive with DV cam and iMovie

[Jon Lucas]

I recently installed a 120GB La Cie firewire drive and tried using it with
a Canon DV cam running on the 2nd firewire port of my iMac via iMovie. The
captured video on the La Cie drive was choppy. Capture from the cam to
iMac's internal hard drive was fine. Seems to be a function of the La Cie
drive. Anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,
Jon
