What is the processor spec of you PC and what are you playing back i.e. how many video/audio tracks, what Video FX and Audio FX are applied.

What are the settings in the preview window and what frame rate does the preview window report?

There was a post a while back from somebody at sonic foundry that recommended the optimum settings for the best preview capability

Start with this thread, try the various settings, and go from there

The only thing i SEE IN THAT POST iM NOT SURE OF IS

3) Turn off PIO mode for all drives.

4) Enable DMA for all IDE drives (Win2k, for some odd reason, turns DMA off be default.)

I have no idea how to do either one of those things

Im P4 ,2.4GIG, WinXP, 512 RAM, Always defraged, Using Basic DV templete,

Im curently using a Carillon Audio core PC but the exact same issues occur on my Dell 2.8 1 gig RAM

This happens sometimes with several tracks/FX or sometimes with one or 2 tracks and no FX...well I have many tracks but I solo tracks and keep others inactive..

3 & 4 are basically the same thing. You have to go to the devices, find the hard drive controller, and turn ON DMA.

I pulled the IEEE card I was using and put in an Adaptec. I can now preview but its still clunky and VV is likly to hang at anytime. Unless I can tweek the system or get better preview performance- I will eventually have to go to a package that lets you add hardware cards for video.

I still love VV though
