The Issue
Questions to Ask
Possible Solutions
Has buffer underrun oc-
curred (has something
interrupted the stream of
data to the recorder)?
Disable all other software programs that are running during
the recording session.
Disconnect the network, if you are using one. On a Mac,
deactivate File Sharing.
Check to see that your hard drive is fast enough.
If recording from CD or DVD-ROM to disc, make sure that
the speed of the source device is high enough to provide a
sufficient data stream to the LaCie drive. Reduce the write
speed of the LaCie drive using the appropriate menu in the
recording software.

Are you running other
software programs simulta-
neously?
