problem with avi

i used to import 640X460 avi into vegas and runs with 10-20 audio tracks of music and sfx. It works fine.

i am now having problem with playing back avi video with multi-track audio file... it's kind of skippy... i have no problem before...if i remove the video track, it will run smooth, or if i render the video to mpeg1, and it will help too... but i don't think it's a solution. i've tried increase the buffer, it helps just a bit...

i don't know it's the SF's problem or the CPU.. coz i've upgraded from AMD Duron 800 mHz to AMD Thunderbird 1.2G mHz.

Try a pre-render, or mix to new track, using the NTSC DV avi template- you'll get full video frame rate and take the load off the processor (which has to decode and rescale the video as well as process the audio if the video format doesn't match the project)

pre-render is one of the solution.
But i don't have that problem before, i can even put in a 640X480 avi with real time preview in full frame rate. I've tried to import previous project's video into the new project i am doing, and i am still having the same problem. I am doing very detail fx for a clip. If i do a pre-render everytime i add a new fx, it will waste me tons of time. If i don't do the pre-render, i will not able to have the accurate fx location.

Have you tried defragmenting your hard drive lately?
