Stuttering when exporting to Tape
I’ve got a serious problem. I am operating PPro 1.5 on a dual processor, 2 gig ram, 450 gig video harddrive Win XP Pro system. I have a fairly generic TV show 28:30 in length. The show has basic video layer with additional layer for lower thirds created in PPro 1.5. But everytime I export to tape, somewhere in the show, the system stutters. I’ve tried different video (all of which is either MiniDV or DVCAM footage. Most recently, the show went fine until the last four minutes and then the stuttering.
I just can’t believe that PPro 1.5 can’t handle a simple assignment. When I asked Adobe Tech Service they recommended outputing the timeline as an avi file on the HD; importing the resulting file into the timeline and then exporting that file to tape. This cannot be an acceptable way of exporting as that would add, in my case, an additional half hour to the production. Please someone help me figure this out. By the way, I defragged, checked for spyware, made sure no other programs were operating, etc. Help please…

Hard to diagnose at a distance, so silly questions may intrude.
Such as…
Have you tried deleting all temp files for the project and re-building the previews?
Have you located your temp files (including conformed audio) away from the OS on a video-rated, defragged drive?
Are any of your files coming off an external drive?
Do you have a screensaver or other such interrupting software running in the background?
Do you have any polling peripherals (eg a scanner) that could be causing the interrupt?
Is your system networked?
Is your system connected to the Internet?
Have you tried running just on one processor?
If any of the above might be relevant, then tweaking your configuration may lead to a diagnosis.

Having those problem too but found that the problem is my DVD burner or something related. Changed the media brand and nothing… then burned directly from the timeline into my standalone Panny E20 (using a DV camera as transcoder) and not only the quality was better but didn’t have the stuttering problems… The quality is very good: better than the internal burner.

I needed to get a bit more clarity. I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one experiencing the stuttering problem. My stuttering occurred when I exported to tape. I was sending the timeline to a DVCAM recorder. You suggest that the DVD burner could be the problem. I’m not following that. Please clarify
Thanks
