CS4 AVCHD Playback problems
I am having a horrible time playing back clips recorded on my HF-100. The playback in CS4 is very choppy to say the least. I have tried importing the clips to an external FW800 drive, importing to the internall HDD, and tried playing back directly from the card. In all cases playback in the source window was unacceptable. I have set playback quality to draft and made the preview size 10% and it still doesn’t play smoothly.
I have a MBP 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM. The HDD is 7200 rpm.
Anyone experiencing similar issues?

I have it running on a laptop core2duo 1.6, 2 gig ram 5400 SATA drive, playback is 1080 and realtime. Not sure why your desktop, with enough grunt, is struggling. Could be hardware drivers in the graphics card? Is your card running newest drivers? Are you on Mac or PC?

It is a MacBook Pro. It is strange. The audio keeps up, but the video lags way behind.

I’m having similar problems.
CS3 is on my same machiene and playing back the same exact clips realtime, CS4 is lagging and chopping (Program and source monitor). It’s acting a lot more like a downgrade than an upgrade.
I really wish i knew how to fix this.

Virus/spyware software running in the BG will cause playback issues.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any of those issues or limitations on my MBP.
I’m still not sure what the problem is.

I’m finding that Mini-DV tapes play fine with no choppiness, however the DVCam tapes that I use are the ones causing the problems.
I’m gonna try to capture the tape itself in CS4 (As opposed to CS3 then bringing it over) and see if that helps any bit…

Always test the video files via a media player, to see if they are ok or also choppy.

I thoughht CS3 couldn’t work with AVCHD? Isn’t AVCHD file-based only?
