Hope someone can help on this. Here's the situation: tibook 1ghz 512 mb of ram (imovie 3.0.3) recording audio to imovie using the Griffin Imic (usb connection) I movie picks up the Imic and begins recording, but then stops with a warning that "the disk responds slowly..etc..etc.". It does record about 2 -3 seconds before giving the warning. I have no other tracks or even sound recorded on the video clips (that might slow down the audio recording process). I have no other applications running. My disk is set to not "sleep". I did try some other recording software but the sound seemed flaky, so I wanted to use the imovie input. Any suggestions would be very welcome. thanks in advance tim tim.molnar Digital Tao http://www.digitaltao.ca 306.585.3666 tam at em.ca
