Loss of frames at Export to Tape
Hi,
I am using Premiere CS3 to produce HDV movie from footages made with my Canon HV30 camcorder. Once a project is completed I save the movie doing an Export to Tape of the timeline back to the HV30.
The results are excellent with practically no loose of picture quality but when I display the tape onto a FullHD TV using the camcorder I can observe brief periods during which either the picture freezes or the screen turns blue. This phenomenon occurs after more than 6 minutes and thereafter appears randomly. When I analyze the tape I can see that there is no picture at the places corresponding to the troubles. Each lack of picture last about 60 frames. At these places, the original project does not feature any defect.
I do not understand the origin of this problem. Is it a lack of RAM or insufficient capacity of my processor? Is it related to the processor temperature peaks? Is it related to the saturation of my Windows XP pagefile.sys file?

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual 4600+ Processor

I would suspect one of the following:
1.Exporting from the system drive (no scratch disks should be set to that drive)
2.Exporting from a drive over 75% full or badly defragmented
3. Virus/spyware scanner running in the background
4. Disk management system running (like Diskeeper) -
Thank you Mike for your help,
from this list it appears that:
1 – the skratch disk fragmentation could be relevant (the total fragmentation indicated by Windows is since this disk is 14% and the files fragmentation is 29 % )
2 – I am not using any antivirus but I have a software named Win Patrol Scotty which is supposed to detect the entrance of BHO into my browsers.I shall defragment my scratch disk and remove Win Patrol from the list of programs loaded at startup.
I shall let you inform of the results. I think that I had read some months ago a post related to difficulties doing Export to Tape with Canon HV20 or HV10 camcorders but I can’t find it.
