  Random black frames on footage in only 1 of 2 systems.

  I am getting seemingly random black frames on playback, but on only one of my systems. my older Mac Pro plays the footage fine.

  I have two systems: Both are Intel MacPros, System 1 has. OSX 10.8.5. Media Composer 6.03. Using a Matrox mini. System 2 has OSX 10.6 and Media Composer 5.5. and no external video card. System 1 is the one that displays black frames.

  I have random footage that plays back with black frames at irregular intervals. a black flashing of 1 or 2 frames. The black frames do not seem to move around.

  Footage is 5k REDRAW transcoded with Resolve to DNX 36 8 bit MXF. Not all the footage from the same batch has this problem. I have turned off the Matrox card in AVID, but still have the problem.

  Any suggestions as to what to look for. I’ve never had a problem with so few references (none) I could find on the web.
