I am currently doing some research before upgrading my editing software.
However, before doing this, I want to correct a problem I am having with output of rendered projects back through the firewire port to a DV camera.
At the moment, the output (usually only audio) freezes for a second or so. So what I end up with is a pretty good video, with 1 second gaps in the audio every couple of minutes or so.
I think it is a memory problem, because I find that freeing up more memory seems to alleviate it a little. However, sometimes for no reason, with as much memory free as possible it gets really bad. I have taken the computer to technicians, because it is still under warrantly. They say it is not a memory problem and seem to think it is a problem with the firewire card or camera (both fairly new as well).
Has any had this problem before?
Should I buy more RAM?
Is it the video or firewire card?
Could it be a problem with a slow hard drive or CPU?
I need to fix this problem before I upgrade my software, and it is really bugging me at the moment.
Please help!!!
