Hi there,

I have an old analog Samsung Hi8 camcorder with a plethora of tapes that I'd like to digitize. I bought this TOTMC USB device and while it does capture the audio and video, both stutter when I record. I've tried on multiple computers (Windows 7, 8, 10) and it always occurs. Would love a hail mary fix.

Any help is much appreciated.
 
Other than turning off all unnecessary background processes during capture I'm not sure what to tell you to do. You could trying turning off your anti-virus/malware software during capture and see if that helps. If you have a second hard drive you could trying capturing (saving) the video to the second drive since the capture software probably resides on your main drive.

Thanks for the help. All my computers have SSDs, so I will try a regular HDD. I've done a bit of googling and someone said they had the same issues except for their windows XP computer, which is too much work to setup at this point.
