Jerky prerender playback

Sorry for the barrage of posts folks, searched the forums but can't really find this one either.

I've applied some FX and prerender to check what they look like. Prerender occurs and the playback is always jerky.

Doesn't matter what FX, even a simple dissolve will always be jerky - this hasn't happened before. The prerenders are going to a 400G Raid0 with plenty of room and that same drive is playing back captured clips just fine (OK the occasional pause, but nothing major).

Prerender settings are for PAL DV lower field (same as the project).

Can't find any other settings that could affect it.

Playback is through a TRV8, but I can't see how that would affect it as the captured clips play fine, only the prerenders are giving me trouble.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Good news - Could it have been anything to do with changing the playback rate in the Trimmer?

Jeez - that'd be a long call ...

I guess a way to check is for me to change it back and see what happens (which I'll do - as I said earlier, I hate not knowing the cause).

Cheers

It was probably a ham operator beeming a signal right through your house or maybe the "quintuple doppler weather radar" from the local tv station. If the radar antenna hapens to stop it will still transmit max power and if it hits the proper spot in your head your insides will be cooked. It might take a while though. If your like Howard Hughes just enclose the computer room with copper screening including floors and ceiling and doors and vents.

I'm afraid that effect doesn't occur in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis Effect throwing electron spin out.

Maybe it's the dirty great hole in the ozone layer sitting over here?
