I would suspect your 20GB drive is the culprit. How much space do you have left on it. Bear in mind that XP will be using this as a page file drive. Get close to 80% in NTFS performance will start to drop

Pal colour bars do little to help setup a TV compared to the NTSC version, which includes contrast and brightness test patterns. The best test pattern is pluge. This gives a peak white and black to help correctly set the contrast. Brightness levels are set by additional vertical bars. These are adjusted so they are just visible above the black background.
Try doing a Google for pluge and you should get your answer.

Jason,
We’re using LANShare EX2 with 7 Windows XP clients running NewsCutter XP in combination with Avid Media Manager over a gigabit network. We had a number of issues due to incorrect client configuration but other than that it works like a dream and appears as a network/multiple network drives on the client end. Each configured workspace appears as a separate ‘virtual’ network drive. Just make sure the Avid Connection Manager application has started and connected before launching your editing apps.
In use now since Jan ’05 and nothing but praise for it.

The trouble with most marketing departments is they like to add the word ‘Pro’ – actually not a word – to make something that is used by professionals, appear some how to be professional. Almost as bad as the Acme ‘2000’.
Maybe it’s time for a creative name:
Adobe Twizel ‘n’ Twirl 2000 Pro.
Adobe Finale – well they’ve used Encore and Audition!
Adobe Production Studio – it’s the user that’s ‘Creative’ after all not the app. -
Are you using a Matrox RTX card?

Chad, this sounds like a problem I had until recently with Adobe Encore DVD.
Encoding is an extremely processor intensive task and usually runs the CPU flat out. This in turn increases the temperature of the processor. Many motherboards are designed to shut your system down when the heat sensor under the processor reaches a preset temperature. That’s exactly what mine did. It only ever occured while encoding. Fitting a larger heatsink and fan solved the problem for me even though it was originally fitted with the standard, supplied AMD heatsink and fan.
There aren’t many other things that will switch your PC off so suddenly.

Hi Peter,
Just replied to your post over in the Sony DV forum.

Tim, just out of interest, what would you have called it?

Ooops, sorry – wrong forum, thought I was looking at Encore DVD.
But by the way. Adobe nearly always includes bug fixes even if they don’t mention them. The website will normally list issues that have been addressed.

Bug fixes a plenty. What version are you using at present?
