HDV Unable to Playback on time line
I am working on a 3-min HDV 720p24 movie, with a few jpegs that are being laid over on 3 additional tracks (first 10 secs). Although I have set the RT to dynamic etc the window keeps coming up unable to play down, change this or that. I am a bit concerned. It is true that my media is currently on just my internal, due to a external drive failure, but I am confused. it is a 7200 rpm drive and should be able to handle it.
The media is not HD, so I don’t know if I should just go to Apple Intermediate or something different. I made an assumption that the machine being only a year 1/2+ old should be able to handle this.
Please advise

Firstly playing off your internal is a no no but you already know that.
Did you at least render the shots because overlayed jpegs on HDV will likely need render. Secondly do your sequence settings match the clip settings exactly?
HDV 720p is HD but changing that to AIC is not advisable. If you want to transcode to a codec that is easier on the processor, then ProRes is best, but not running off your internal. An external FW800 is minimum requirement. I have no trouble running HDV 1080 50i with ProRes renders off an external FW800 on a 41/2 year old G5.
