Seems a little disingenuous the way Sony are marketing the FS700 by not mentioning future expenses.

Jack,
I just went through the very same issue which took a while to sort out. I changed the ram, graphics card, everything that had memory attached but to no avail. Finally I ended up going for a brand new install of Windows 7 64bit (we used a new operating drive because I was concerned that the 32mb on board memory of the drive might have had a glitch but I reckon a format would have surficed). We also had the bios for the Asus P6T board updated at the same time. We then installed VP 10c 64bit and all is running incredibly smoothly. My feeling is that either Windows or VP 10c somehow screwed up the codecs slightly, or that they conflicted slightly with the older bios. Like I said, the system is flying now, better than ever actually. Best of luck with it, I know how frustrating is.

Matthew thanks for the feedback. We eventually went for a new system drive with a new install of Win7 64bit, we then installed SVP 10 64bit and now it is thundering like a thundering system should. Can highly recommend the 64bit version.

Nigel my bios was from 2009. I think though that the issue was centred on the system drive, replacing it with a fresh Win7 install seems to have done the trick.

Okay just to follow up. We think we have a favourable conclusion having put in a new system drive and a fresh install of Win7. We have also updated our bios to the latest version and to be honest the whole system feels a little brisker (asus P6T mobo). We are also in the process of loading Vpro 64bit version to tackle the renders that insist on crashing. Thanks to all for your assistance and help.

Cheers Alf. Thing is, all was working fine in Vista 64bit and then it all went tits up and the result has been exactly the same with Win7 64bit. My suspicion is either ram, graphics card or processor (although I have stress tested the entire system with no red flags). The Bios update sounds like a worthwhile endeavour, will keep you posted.

Thanks Nigel. I did a new install of Win 7 and have been using the 32bit version of Vpro 10c so as to use Magic Bullet Looks (don’t get me started on Red Giant). The projects I’m trying to render though have no Magic Bullet effects.

Thanks for the input Steve (MannMade in South Africa?). Will definitely follow your advice on the memory allocation. I have NOT added any codec packs. I did just add a usb 3 control card with the NEC chip set and driver, don’t know if that could cause a conflict? Should I think about updating my Bios?

Also make sure that your project settings are correct and compliment the footage you are working with. Always understand your source material by knowing what the camera settings were and then replicate those settings in the edit.
