Did you read the part about drive speed and datarate of uncompressed video?
Wild guess.
Your drive is too slow.
Since you can afford a digibeta, you also can afford a decent array 🙂Bouke

If you have to use Firewire drives check out G-Technology, G-RAID drives.

In addition to slow drives, I’m pretty sure the minimum requirements for Media Composer ask for 2 Gig of RAM, even better if you go to 3. Plus, and I’m not really familiar with Macs, but if your Mojo is sharing the same bus as your firewire you’ll have a lot of problems–the Mojo doesn’t like to share resources, so you may need a seperate firewire card (you do on a PC, it might be different on a Mac), and if you do need a firewire card it likely has to go into a specific slot.
