I captured two 1 hour tapes last night of 720P HDV footage with no problem on desktop AMD FX60 Edius 4.54. Today I tried to capture 35 minutes of 1080i from Canon XH-A1 (camera as deck) with the "disk too slow" error. I easily captured the 1080i footage on my laptop MBP17 Core Duo (Bootcamp) Edius 4.24.
On the desktop system speedfan showed both cores maxed out at 100% when trying to capture 1080i. Both systems I was capturing Canopus HQ.
On desktop drive was SATAII with 170 gig free, laptop was USB drive.
Is 1080i that much more CPU intensive than 720p?
I also noticed that splash screen on laptop says "2 processors" while the desktop splask screen says "2 logical processors." does the difference mean anything?
