Premiere CS5 program monitor playback lag
Greetings:
This is my first post… So, I will do my best to include all necessary info. If I forget something, please ask.
System specs:
i7 965
Quadro fx 4800
12 gigs tripple channel ram
Solid state drive- 128gig (runs OS and CS5- thats it)
(4) 7200 rpm 1tb seagate (used to archive projects once complete)
Blackmagic Intensity pro capture card
Footage- hdv 1080i from Sony HVR-V1U
Window 7 ultimate (64bit)
Issue: once footage is imported and on the time line the program monitor playback does two things:
1. When I hit play (or space bar) it lags for about 2 secs before play back.
2. The video skips and jumps when I apply and mercury approve effects… Such as cross dissolve. The time line render color stays yellow, bug still jumps and skips… And lags after I hit play!
I have done the following to address the issue (without success)
1. Uninstalled and re-installed both CS5 and window7. Basically formatted the whole drive and started over. Didn\’t help-
2. Set my system priority to real time in task manager. Didn\’t help
3. Updated window 7, CS5, and nividia card to latest updates and drivers. Didn\’t help.
4. Made sure the settings in CS5 where set to GPU render… Didn\’t helpI should mention that I was running CS4 on this machine- I never had the lag time after hitting play… Of course had to render effects, but once they rendered- they played perfectly. I have read blogs and help files til I was blue in the face! Need any help I can get…thanks in advance. PS- I am posting this on my iPhone a d it won\’t let me scroll back up in this little post message window- this I can not re-read what I just type- pls over look and errors:)
Thanks

Hi Allan
It really should work perfectly, my own setup is similar but less powerful and I have no problems.Try the following and see what happens. Firstly, do some capturing directly through the fireside port and don’t use the capture card and see how it plays. I have used capture cards in the past and they can cause problems.
Secondly, make sure there isn’t a conflict with the capture card. I used a matrix card and it used its own codecs and wanted to render certain items itself. If you can try without the card in the loop it may help.(if not make sure its drivers are also fully up to date).
If that doesn’t work, try a test sequence with GPU rendering off. For hdv your system should cope ok without GPU at least to see what the problem is.
The only other thing that may slow the system is if you are doing lots of layers of footage in your sequence picture-in-picture. If so, then the issue will come down to the speed of the drive with the footage on as it can only stream a certain data rate before it struggles. The answer to that is multiple drives in a RAID configuration.
Hope this helps – I suspect the capture card!

I have the same problem.If you find something please tell me.For windows xp i have the solution.
Start Windows XP (SP2) in safety mode and then copy the file msdv.sys (windows\\system32\\drivers) from SP1 (5.1.2600.0) over the SP2-version (5.3.2600.2180). Then reboot. Windows (SP2) now uses the SP1-firewire-driver to communicate with the video equipment.\par
