I've had the good forturne to have a pro editor come by and help me make edit decisions on a DV feature, and when playing back footage (with all FX turned off) I notice that the picture hiccups a lot, every 5 seconds or so. He asked me about that and I mumbled something about how V6 uses a lot of CPU bandwidth (which I note is in the upper 90%s) as it plays back.
He's an Avid user (at the 'Real Film Studio' level) but was intrigued by Vegas and started working it a little himself. One thing, though, that drove him crazy is trying to time an edit, for audio or picture, by a few frames and seeing how V6 "jumps" and pauses each time you hit the "j" key, i.e. trying to back up a few frames in R/T rather than with the arrow keys. I didn't know what to tell him.
Anyone familiar with this? Now that I'm more conscious of it, it's driving me nuts too. Have a Dell 8200, P4 at 2.53, 512MB RAM, 533 FSB, separate video drive.
