supports DMA transfers). To use DMA:

Cause
Too many programs may be running (using up computer resources).

Tip:
If your computer has more than one hard disk, you may get better results if you play
back or capture video files with a disk
other than
the one where the Windows swap file is
stored. The Windows swap file is usually stored on drive “C:”.
WARNING:
Not all drives support DMA well. For more information, see the
documentation that came with your hard disk.
