Capturing with adobe premiere 6.5

[cornfellow]

I am trying to capture video using adobe premiere 6.5
my settings are
DV/IEEE1394
720x480
frame rate: 29.97 fps
depth: millions
quality 100%
audio: 48khz

when i capture it and play it back on screen it is slightly stuttering/choppy in some places, then when i export it to .mpeg file for example, it is even more choppy and stuttering.

i have 1GB ram on windows xp prof, and am capturing directly to an 80GB USB2 external harddrive

any ideas?

If the problem goes away when you capture to an internal hard disk (but not the system partition), then I would suspect that the throughput to/from your external disk isn't up to the challenge of DV data rates.

I have had similar issues with the video looking choppy, especially with fast motion. I am using a Toshiba p25 s676 laptop with 1 gig ram / Pentium IV 3.4 HT, a 5200 5pm system drive and a 7200 RPM Hitachi Travelstar for the capture drive. My troubles seem to have begun when I got this computer which runs with XP Media Center Edition and service pack 2. I have previously captured the video to a single drive laptop running with a single 5200 RPM hard drive. I believe it's related to service pack 2. Any one else have issues with choppy video and spk2?

Since I edit in the field and FTP my packages for broadcast, I have to hit the net with my edit computer. Removing spk2 is not an option.

Thanks for the help.
