Check out the raylight decoder:

I don’t think it matters, but I’d insert it after the fastdetect switch.

Yes, I’d leave it. It has something to do with processor timers, and is used with specific processor sets.
To be on the safe side, you may want to add a system restore point before you make the change.
Other than that, I think you are on the right track. Make sure there is a space between each entry.

Chances are the 3GB switch is already set, but it’s easy to check. Look for the boot.ini file on the root of your C drive. (You may have to enable “show hidden files and folders” and disable “hide protected operating system files” in Explorer->tools/folder options/view). Open with notepad. See if 3GB is added to the line “multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)WINDOWS=”Microsoft Windows XP Professional” /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /3GB /USERVA=2500. If not, add it as above and save.
Closing unused timelines should make a significant difference in available memory.

Jerry,
The difference is that MPEG2-DVD makes seperate audio and video files (which Encore likes), whereas straight MPEG2 will interleave the audio and video in one file.
In regards to your previous posts, CS4 on 64-bit Vista with 8-12 GB of ram should take care of your low memory issues. However, there are things you can do in CS3 that help, like closing any unused timelines/bins; setting the optimize switch in Premiere general preferences to “memory”; inserting the 3 GB switch in boot.ini; and closing and reopening Premiere when you get a low memory warning.
As for Ultra CS3, you could reinstall it on your system when you upgrade to CS4.
In regards to Matrox, your problems sound familiar, in that it is not uncommon for people who stray from Matrox’s recommended hardware list to enter a world of hurt. I have been a user of Matrox products from the DigiSuite days, and have found that by adhering to their recommendations, I have built many a stable and happy system, including systems based on the RT-2000, RT-2500, RTX100, and now Axio and the RTX2. If you need analog I/O, would like real time effects including an excellent chroma key, a high quality I-frame MPEG codec to render to, and accelerated rendering and export to DVD, it may be worth the money. Otherwise, Premiere by itself is no slouch.

I’m pretty sure the problem is fixed in CS4, although I haven’t tried multiple MP4s since I upgraded (I got used to sticking with MPEG2).

Could it have something to do with anti-virus software? I’d try disabling any anti-virus and see if that helps.

Hi, Alex,
Yes, I think what you are seeing is XP running out of memory and kicking over to the paging files. That’s a nice thing about 64-bit Vista/CS4 with 8 GB of RAM – my current RTX2 setup. That issue is gone, along with other low memory issues that were problematic in CS3.

Create as new sequence and place the original sequence icon (from the project window) into it. Now your original sequence is one big clip.

That’s strange, since Matrox (Axio) is the only card available that actually accelerates the editing process (rendering, export, real time effects) in addition to supplying HDSDI and analog I/O. If Matrox is slowing you down, there might be something amiss with your system.
That being said, there are a number of HDSDI I/O cards available from AJA, BMD, etc.
