Desktop Playback on Pro1.5

[helpneil]

Hello videophiles, I've been using 6.5 on XP for some time. Recently I upgraded to Pro1.5 - can't stand in the way of progress. When I import a video captured by 6.5 it's distorted on desktop playback - broken up into small blocks which are randomly splattered across playback window.

I've imported rendered clips that were outputted by 6.5 and these play fine. I have captured a short section of video in 1.5 and that plays fine too. The dodgy avi's play out to camera (firewire) with no issues - only onscreen playback is affected.

I've tried switching off the output to camera and I've tried installing on a better patched OS with no improvement.

It appears to me that I can start from scratch on 1.5 but all my previous footage is going to be difficult to use. Unless someone here can help it's decision time as to whether I delete hours of footage or revert back to 6.5.

The only thing I'm yet to confirm (that I can think of) is whether it is the size of the avi file that is causing it - all the ok ones are small and all the dodgy ones so far have been large. Also I'm yet to try some random (non-captured/non6.5) avi's. PS all files play fine in media player etc.
thanks for any help - sorry for the waffling!
Neil

More info - maybe this rings more bells. It's not that new cature is ok it's that capture with a different camera is ok. Capture with an older Panasonic is bad and old footage that was captured with that camera is also bad. My new JVC seems ok. Anyone had any issues with Panasonics? Everything is fine in media player.

Reverted back to 6.5 and all is well again but I don't like living in the past.
Thanks,
Neil
