Data xfer rate: camera to disk

Under XP-SP2, we used Pinnacle Studio Plus 9.4 and 10.6 to transfer video from a DV camera to the pc through a Pinnacle Studio Movieboard Plus PCI card. Camera connected to pc through the 1394 plug. The transfer works fine although quite slow as is the usual case with all Pinnacle software versions.
However, if we choose a USB hard disk as destination for the transfer, we’re kicked out (or the test just hangs) because apparently the transfer data rate is insufficient. Again, everything works fine when an IDE disk is used.
Is there any way to get the software to adjust to a particular data rate so that the USB disk can be used (Western Digital 500 GB) ?

No. The data rate is non adjustable. USB just isn't fast enough. If you have a good quality firewire hardrive though, that will work.
I should point out that it is possible to EDIT from a usb drive so the other alternative is simply to capture to your internal drive and manually move it to your usb drive

Thanks for your reply. We wanted to avoid going through the interim IDE disk process, then copying over to the USB drive.
