Premiere cs5.5 + quadro 4000 = stutter playback on avchd files. Why o why ?
Hi everybody
I recently acquired a second hand quadro 4000 for use in PPro 5.5 with win 7 x64.
When I activate mercury engine, some pieces of media won’t read in real time. Sometimes, the stutter is so worse that it pauses.
I tryed to run PPBM 5.5 to evaluate my system. The result I had with or without mercury engine enable in PPro are the same.
Where should I look ?I downloaded a gadget that shows the gpu workload. The most I can reach is 12%…
I’m running a pretty old system though, so do you think this behavior is normal ?
My system :
win 7 x64 fresh install.
intel q9400 2.66Ghz
asus striker II formula
quadro 4000 2GB running latest driver 296.35
8GO ram
ssd vertex 250GB system
WD caviar blue 500GB drive for cache and other stuf
WD caviar green for media (i’m in the process of buying 2 velociraptor in raid 0 – I don’t think my problem is related to the drives, though)Thanks for the help

We have a much more powerful system than your’s, and AVCHD footage stutters so badly that we routinely convert to Cineform files to edit with.

As I understand it,CUDA has nothing to do with playback of regular clips .
This talks about what the CUDA cards do…

Make sure that you’ve installed the latest updates:

Hi.
Thank you for your responses. I update PP to 5.5.2.
OK. I’m a bit disapointed ’bout AME.I guess my cpu is too weak then. Is there any hardware card out there that could help me read multi flux of avchd.(I tried a decklink but it was no better)
Also, I exported a 1080p film to a 576i (dvd mpg) format. The quadro should be at play doing downscaling, right ?
Well; if I do that in PP, it is OK, and the thing is done in 3 min.(the GPU goes up to 60%)
If I send it to Adobe media encoder, it takes 15 min. The gpu stays at zero. Is there a way to enable cuda in media encoder ?Thank you.

Hi !
Me again.
I havec another related but strange issue on my disapointing station.
I work with mpg2 HD (hp@hl) videos.
The playback is fine for about 3 seconds, then it pauses (the soung goes on) for about 5 seconds, then it starts stuttering.I would blame it on my cpu, but it does not go over 60% (4 cores).
The memory is 40% and the HDD are fine as well.
The quadro sleeps confortably, as it cannot accelerate anything at this point.I tryed xdcamHD, dvcproHD and custom (1920×1080, square) presets.
What could be the bottleneck ?
Anyway, I guess I’ll be on the market for I7 and 2011 socket…
