Thanks so much for the info!!
I'll give it all a try. I had no idea one could (safely) set the bitrate that high.
I think the problem i was having was a misunderstanding of Flush Rate. It seems you're suggesting it should stay high, so that the system isn't trying to write quite so often? I was assuming keeping the flush rate low would prevent some sort of buffering/cacheing overflow (I kept crashing).
Ok, i'll come back with some firm data once I've tried tweaking your suggestions.
