Make sure drives are not fragmented.

Resize preview screen in capture to very small.

Make sure there are not other things running.

If you can take your computer off the network, disable virus protection too.

Make sure screen saver is off.

I'm sure others will have some other thoughts too.

In the rendered output or stuttering through your soundcard and speakers when you play from the timeline. That's normal.

If it is the rendered output you can try three things.

1. Look for gaps on the timeline. It is one of those things some of us have been complaining about here that never get addressed with new versions of the software.
2. Don't use the preview window during Print to Tape. Turn it off.
3. Try recapturing the clips again and re-rendering.

---When capturing via firewire from a Panasonic digital camcorder I occassionaly get stuttering, particularily audio---
I'm assuming this is as you're capturing. Mine has always stuttered during capture, both video and especially audio. This seems to be normal and very annoying. When playing back, I get perfect sound and if only 1 video track is in timeline, I get a full 29.970 fps. In fact, stuttering is not the right word, it's more like very "choppy". It almost sounds as if I'm using an on/off switch to turn the audio off and on, every half second. Sounds so bad, I have to shut off the volume as I'm capturing.

Thank you all for your input. I found the choppiness does only occurr during capture I get clean data in playback. Thank goodness for this forum!! Appreciatively, Bob Kroeger

Changing the "PCI Latency" in your BIOS to a higher value can improve this kind of problem. Try 64, 96, 128 etc and see if it helps.
