Next step :-) When recording my video I'm seeing the above message. hdparm /dev/hdb gives me: /dev/hdb: multcount = 16 (on) IO_support = 1 (32-bit) unmaskirq = 1 (on) using_dma = 1 (on) keepsettings = 0 (off) readonly = 0 (off) readahead = 256 (on) geometry = 16383/255/63, sectors = 234441648, start = 0 Some documentation I saved some time back states Enabling DMA is simple - hdparm -d1 /dev/hda and For example 'hdparm -d1 -X69 /dev/hdX (but it will change per drive and system)tells /dev/hd(whatever) to use DMA (-d1) and to run in UDMA5 mode (-X69) I thought that the hdparm command actually told you what dma level is set, but I must be remembering it wrongly. I don't like to mess with something like this without some knowledgeable hand-holding. Any recommendations? Anne
