Re: long firewire cable
Mark,
Don't forget that the XDcam format is MPEG II and is highly compressed already. It is possible that your are losing some data in the transfer so the error correction is resending lost data during those times that you see stutter. What are you using for capture on the laptop? Don't forget that the speed of the disk drive in the laptop can affect performance as well. Do you have the same problems when you are using a shorter firewire cable?
