Exported Video/Audio skips

[vickero007]

I've had this problem for a while and I usually just export until I don't get any errors but this time it's a 40 minute video so I'm not sure if that will do it.

I bring analog video/audio in with Canopus ADVC-1000 and I edit everything. I export as Print to Tape and I use the Canopus ADVC-1000 again but in the reverse. I always have problems with audio dropping out for a second here and there and sometimes video speeds up for a couple seconds. Before the video speeds up I hear the hard drive spinning faster. I bought a 80GB hard drive with 8MB cache to put the audio/video on but it hasn't prevented this problem.

Under DV Playback settings I only select the first checkbox and sometimes I'll check the third one too, same results.

Any ideas?

I had similar problems along with a (pretty severe) issue when it came to capturing frames too. Getting a large drive wasn't quite enough either. What finally remedied the situation for me were a number of things:

I got a drive that was rated at 7200 rpm. I made sure that it was only used for capturing video (all applications were on my other drive). The drive had to be installed as my primary master device and no other drives were on the primary IDE channel.

I'm sure that all three of these had some bearing but it wasn't until I reconfigured my system in the last step that the problems were solved.

That was on a 1 GHz system with a 20gb system drive and a 40 gb video drive with 500 mb RAM. Since then I've upgraded to a dual 2ghz, with 40 & 80 gig drives and a gig of RAM - never had a problem with the new drive.

Oh yeah, there was one other thing I had to do... I also had to disable my network connection before capturing or printing to tape.

Thanks, I'll try all of that. I have a primary 40GB drive which XP is on. I have a 80GB 7200RPM with 8MB cache drive that I put the video on and it has nothing else on it. However, I originally captured to the 40GB drive then moved it to the 80GB and it's too late to do over, I finished the editing already. It's a 2Ghz with 500MB RAM.

So you put your OS on the secondary IDE? What settings do you use before you Print to Tape? Do you have an ADVC-100?
