Capturing multiple movies simultaneously with Capture Camera and Capture Stage

Re: [Capture Camera to Movie Issues in Windows](/topic/6100/capture-camera-to-movie-issues-in-windows)

Hey everyone. Looks like I'm having this issue now, but on a mac and with the new Izzy 4. The movies generated from a Capture Camera to movie actor are sometimes unpredictably jumpy and abbreviated. 

Of course in my patch I am often using "record stage to movie" and "capture camera to movie" actors simultaneously. However I don't remember it being quite as unreliable when I previously ran this program in 3 last fall. I keep trying to ease the load of the scene to see if that helps, or change codecs as originally suggested in the previous thread, but nothing seems to work. Sometimes the movies don't even capture at all. 

Wondering if anyone has had a similar problems or maybe some foundational info I've been missing. Happy to send files, but they are pretty contrived. This is the live 3D movie I shoot.

These systems shouldn't have changed between Isadora 3 and Isadora 4.

The first thing I would look at is drive health. 

Please open a support ticket and I can see if I can reproduce the issue with your help.
