Hi Melvin,
Premiere Pro will only capture footage as 24p if you choose that preset when you create the project.
As for the stuttering, does it studder when just playing back normally? With a decent system (1GHZ or above) it should play back fine. Make sure there is no red bar at the top of the timeline indicating that the project needs to be rendered. If you press the “enter” button while the project is open and it begins to render, let it finish and it should play back normally.
One thing to note, if you import normal footage in a 24p project, it will require rendering, as will importing 24p footage in a 30i project.
Hope this helps,

Also, Disable the 1394 port in the networking control panel so windows won’t use it as a network device.

Hi Justin,
If all the captured video you have fits on to the 250, I would set up the 200 as the Conformed audio drive, and save projects to the 160. If there is room on the 200, you can certainly store some stills and even some DV video clips there too. If space is really at a premium, store the conformed audio files on the 160 and and dv footage on the other two. The secret is to have your captured DV footage on a seperate drive from the conformed audio files. That way when Premiere conforms audio, it does not need to read-write-read-write on a single drive. One drive is constantly reading, the other constantly writing – speeding up the process. Staying away from your system drive frees it up for windows tasks.
As for hyperthreading, as long as you have all the latest windows patches and adobe mainconcept 1.1 encoder update and the 1.5.1 premiere update, you should have smooth sailing all the way.
With the quadro FX, just have the latest version of the drivers.

Check to make sure that windows is not using the firewire port as a network port. Disable the 1394 network connection in control panel > network properties. Also make sure that windows firewall is not enabled on the 1394 port.
Just a couple of generic things to try.

Make sure that you have all the updates for Encore on Adobe’s site, specifically the Mainconcept 1.1 upgrade. If it gets all the way through transcoding and dies, manually transcode the individual media files (right click on them in the window and choose “Transcode Now”). After that is done then try and create the DVD.

Also, was the pixilization on the final DVD? Low bit rate can cause a huge amount of pixelization. If your trying to cram 3 or 4 hours of video on a dvd….

I tried looking up “Sony Clamshell” and all I could find were cell phones. Just out of curiosity, what model camera are you using?

Just out of curiosity, is the camera attached to the computer while you are trying to play back the clips? Also, Is anything showing up on the Premiere level meters? If there is audio showing up on the meters go into the playback settings and choose Audio Hardware Playback. It almost sounds like premiere is sending the audio to the camera.
The only other thing I can think of is that the audio is on ST2 (Stereo 2) and premiere can only capture from ST1 (Stereo 1). The XL1 and 2 record the XLR inputs to ST2.
Hope this helps.

It almost sounds like the changes you are making are revealing noise that is allready there. What source / Process was used to capture? I ask because even after some extensive tweaking I have never experienced this. Was there any gain up settings on the camera?
