From what you describe I think I have the same problem. Would be nice to check your video, but it seems to be password protected? Must be something I dont know.

Our prob is that every now and then the image seems to be split in two, part of the pic stick for a microsec or so. Result is a terrifying line sometimes across the whole screen, other times just a fwe inches long. If I then stop playback, start again, the stutter comes on another place. This is a bit comforting ofcourse, but honestly I wish the makers of editing progs like Premiere or FCP would find a way to mnake it look OK when editing – if the footage is OK.

BTW: The stuttering in my videos seems to disapear when finished movie is exported to DVD. But when editing it looks so terrible that it really scares me. So I have spent a week changing vga cards, a few different types of Nvidia based Cuda cards for Premiere Pro CS5.5. Nothing changes. Tried on computer with the nevest AMD/ATI card, even worse than on Nvidia.

Our footage was shot in HDV on a Sony camcorder, logged into FCP 6, then because Apple have decided to lock HDV files capured to FCP I had to convert every file to Apple Prores HQ to get the files over to Premiere on PC. Of course, this conversion business is what makes me worried.

Is there any way to make sure that files are OK before final movie is delivered to broadcast? It will not be rendered to DVD when delivered to broadcast of course. Either recorded on digibeta, or rendered to a computerfile they will accept.

Files stutters on all PCs we try, on LCD TV, and Ill check with old as hell TV set today. And get the guy who does color correction to check on his system.

Is there any program that will check footage and say if its OK or not, and possibly play the files as thet are supposed to look?

Best regards,
