The best way to fix the stuttering is to have a four drive RAID 0 installed in your computer, either made up of SAS or SCSI 320 drives, or SATA II drives as a last resort. Your RAID drives should be operating at 7,000 RPM at least. 10k RPM Drives are the standard for professional video work and should be used if you can affort them.
Since the DVCam video you are working with has a bandwidth of 25 Mbps (3.125 MB per second), most modern drives should be able to keep up with the sustained data throughput required for playback.
Based on your symptoms, I would advance your media drive is running at less than 7K RPM on start up and that since it

The issue of rendering was discussed in the HD Video forum between December 21,2006 and January 15, 2007.

Hi Steve,
The F23 camera is what used to be called the ng-23 at NAB2006. This camera head+SRW1 recorder was demonstrated at the CineAlta night event, in the lounge where you sat before going into the main event. It was also shown behind a glass box in the main Sony exhibit area.
The nice thing about the camera head is that, according to those in the know, it is an f11 at 2000 Lux at 0dB gain design, and uses a 14-bit A/D circuit. It also has by default some really nice gamma & color presets. The best thing about it is that the SRW1 actually attaches to the body of the camera head, either from the top or behind making it very convenient for those who dislike to attach a cable between the head and the recorder.
Since the SRW1 records at 10-bit, it will probably become the camera of choice for those who like 10-bit video technology.
The F23 is not designed as a shoulder mount EFP camcorder. It was designed to always be used with a tripod or other support. I’m sure somebody will try to use the camera head as an EFP/ENG shoulder mount camera (sending the images via a cable back to the SRW1 recorder, which an assistant will probably carry) but, a shoulder mount for the camera head was not considered as part of the design.
The F23 setup was designed to be a 4:4:4 design (only up to 30p) but I guess some folks will use the 4:2:2 setup as it allows you to record up to 60p.
Here’s the link to the Sony press release.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the tip. I found excellent software that accomplishes the task.

Does anybody know who makes a NDF (non drop frame) time code to DF (Drop frame) timecode calculator and who would sell such a product? I’ve always needed one?

Hi Luke,
Thanks for taking the time to investigate this issue. I appreciate your efforts in helping me out.
The fact remains that it was already established on October 19, in this forum, that Adobe Premier Pro 2.0, with a Supermicro motherboard, QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 and BMD v5.7.2 exhibit the same symptoms as described above.
Besides, Deck Control from BMD v5.7.2, upon capturing video inserts a 13 frame (audio / video) delay on any 6 second sequence!(it ads/repeats frames as it captures.) Here Adobe Premier has nothing to do with the processes involved. So the fault remains within BMD as not even its Deck Control application can capture correctly with the present BMD / QT software versions involved.
Upgrading to Premier Pro 2.0 is not the solution in my case (as I will end up exactly where I am right now.
Downgrading to BMD 5.3.1 and QuickTime 6.5.2 is not the solution either as QuickTime 7.1.3 cannot truly be uninstalled once installed on a PC.
It has also already been established that I cannot capture video and audio from within Premier so I

Hi Andrew,
I’m writing here as opposed to directly to PCsupport because it is a serious issue and its clear to me that certain Supermicro motherboards do not work well with Adobe Premier, QuickTime and BlackMagic software.
The issue is that the audio goes out of sync in a way that cannot be fixed on the Premier timeline. Your solution of capturing via Adobe is a great one, that is until you try doing it on a Supermicro motherboard, when the Hard drives for the RAID are attached directly to the Adaptec AIC-7902 dual channel Ultra320 SCSI connectors on the motherboard itself (which is what I’ve done).
This combination will not allow the user to capture video and audio correctly within Adobe Premier (It never has in recent time… last three years of BMD software updates.) The captured end result is worse within Adobe Premier 1.5.1 than the end result of trying to capture using Deck Control with the present limitations.
Somebody had suggested, as I think you just have, that I use AVI extensions. I can’t capture within Adobe Premier. The only way I can capture an AVI is within Deck Control and to do this I need the MJPEG codec. Yet this is an 8-bit only codec, and I need a 10-bit codec for most of my work.
I think it’s clear this is a software issue that has killed BlackMagic Design Deck Link Pro cards in X5DA8 Supermicro Motherboards. A motherboard I have to say BMD recommended in writing as suitable for Deck Link Pro cards.
On a different topic, Adobe Premier Pro 1.5.1 conforms ALL media when invoked on the Project Window. This includes AVI and QuickTime media. So if my capturing application (Deck Control) messes up the audio upon capture, even if I use the MJPEG media, the audio still goes out of sync in an unpredictable way.
It was suggested to me that to be able to monitor the sound, in the present conditions, I bypass the audio from Decklink Audio to Premier Pro Windows Sound.
“(Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware.)”
I tried this and it does allow me to again listen to the audio of NTSC MOV files on the timeline. Yet the audio still goes out of sync, ever so often.
THIS IS THE KILLER ISSUE

I have the normal 32-bit version of Windows XP with Service Pack 2 (in Spanish) and here’s what’s installed in the PCI-X slots:
