DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE VC500 MOVIE

Should I first capture to the C Drive SSD then copy/paste the video capture to the external drive?Finally - I've lost the burner software that came with the computer (due to reformatting HD & New OS) - what burner software do you guys recommend? And, should I edit from the capture file or the DVD (once burnt)?ДЄudio clock is fixed.

I notice there are ZERO transitions (loaded the file into Movie Maker and it was one really big scene.Дo I need to do these manually, or have I missed a setting (Do I need transitions at all?)? in fact, as the tape got long (its a full length tape) I noticed some 'pausing' or delay in what I saw on the window of the Sony cam compared to what I saw on the screen - this was intermittent and looked like buffering. Second - is my setup acceptable? - I have the VC500 in a USB 2.0 slot, and the capture location going to the external drive, and I hear it working. Should I have used 'DVD' or 'AVI' instead? The first recording I did, I used MPEG 4 - which did not come out that great some artifacting and sound delay (although that might have been a Windows Player issue.). Thus, I need some advice.ДЇirst off - what capture format should I be using? I have two desired end results: 1) transferring the tape to DVD so I can preserve it / watch it in the future, andДў) editing parts of it (and several other tapes) to make a single DVD to share with the Marines I served with in Bosnia back in the '90s. To that end, I bought a Diamond VC500, watched some videos and suggestions, and tried what looked best - but my results are less than optimal. I've played around with Windows Movie Maker over the years - and finally have the confidence to try to preserve / edit some of my old Hi8 tapes.
