1) Instead of capturing, why don't you just copy the files to your computer and work from those files?  That is a lot faster and would probably eliminate any capture issues you may be having.  The files are VOB; you may have to rename them to mpg for the version you have to work.
2) Computer specs please.  
3) If your version indication is correct, you do not have the product where you posted this topic so it was moved here.  What you have is 2 versions (read almost 3 years) behind.  As you can probably tell by he name, it is nowhere near the full version and may have been an OEM that came with a computer or burner.  It may not be FULLY compatible with Vista but probably cannot be updated
4) Good operating procedure is to have nothing else running while doing video work including your anti-virus which is probably taking CPU time.
5) Same as above but if you are using a laptop make sure it is set to use full 100% power all the time rather than going into a reduced power mode.
6) If you do need to capture, what format are you capturing?
7) Don't trust the preview for what will be on a disc.  Burn a short portion of the video file to an image file (ISO) using MyDVD and then mount a virtual drive and watch it on your computer to see it it has the starts and stops.

and BTW  Do you have the VideoWave application?  If so use that for your editing of the videos; use MyDVD to set the menus, add the projects (from Video Wave) and to burn.  Burning the image file or folder set and then copying that to a disc is also best practices

Other may have other questions/suggestions.

If I could follow up on this reply/post...

4) Good operating procedure is to have nothing else running while doing video work including your anti-virus which is probably taking CPU time.

I always use MSCONFIG to disable all running programs while doing audio restorations with another software, and tried the same while working with a Videowave project, (V-9) but I was getting freeze ups and erratic response (slow video)  and decided to  restore all running programs back, I was then able to finish the videowave project without too many issues..

My question is this,..

When using Msconfig to disable all running programs to avoid conflicts and save on CPU usage and memory, is there any program that Creator 9 needs and should not be disable?  

Also, related to MSconfig..

Does anyone know of any utility (win XP) that will allow you to load and unload running programs without using MSconfig?
I used one in the old Win 3.X days that was very handy, as it memorized which programs in the list to re-load after finishing the project ..  

7) Don't trust the preview for what will be on a disc.  Burn a short portion of the video file to an image file (ISO) using MyDVD and then mount a virtual drive and watch it on your computer to see it it has the starts and stops.

Could you please elavorate? or point me to a thread that discusses this tip? Thanks

PS: I'm catching up with old postings in this forum, so forgive me if all this has been discussed before...
