ok, Every once and a while I can print an entire project to tape. Usually I get random stopages and the transfer freezes for a second or even more. But the freezing never happens in the same place twice. I usually cancel the print and restart. I rendered an avi. file and started to print with the video capture program but it too froze for a moment. Everything will be fine for about 10 minutes and then I will lose a second or two of video. Last time it dropped within 20 seconds of starting the print. I have everything else closed, screen saver and all other utilities from the tool bar are turned off.
I can burn vcd's and watch the avi. without a problem so I think it is in the transfer. I have a new DVD drive in the mail (sony dru510a) but I have to send out copies for the music rights as of two days ago. This is really starting to drive me nuts.

Does anyone else have this problem?

thanks for the help,
Jason
