Mark,

I have not done much video editing and what I have done was short duration.
Have you done long video recording on the order of an hour or so? From what
I have read in the video magazines, the hard drives may recalibrate after
about 15 minutes or so. Thus, if your video recording is longer, you could
have problems (according to the articles I read).
