Murray and Gregg,
Are you both working off of Firewire 800 drives? The error message about your CPU is wrong I think. Murray, in your case you showed this when you said your activity monitor is only going to about 50%. The error message you should be getting should be about your drives not being fast enough, which is true if you’re using SD Uncompressed and you are skipping around in the timeline. Firewire 800 drives will allow you to work in SD or compressed HD but the likelyhood that you will get a performance related error message is a lot higher than a drive like say the HDPro by Caldigit, the G-Speed by G-tech or the Falcon3 by Raid inc. As long as you are not stopping when you are trying to playback your timeline or clips off the firewire800 drives and you are still allowed to work, then I wouldn’t worry about it too much. But if it is keeping you from being able to complete projects then I suggest investing in a higher end drive solution.Scott F

If you’re attempting to use Firewire 800 drives for HD uncompressed 8 bit? I can see having performance problems with that because you won’t get the needed throughput for 8bit HD uncompressed.
Bob, I’m curious, what are the details of you’re instants of this issue?
Gregg, what format are you working in NTSC or PAL? When you say it is lossless do you mean you’re using the Media 100i lossless?
Do any of you have scan audio on? What is your audio sample rate? Is anyone working in HD here?

Open UP Activity Monitor located in Applications>Utilities and you want to turn-on the Floating CPU Window. Leave this open and see if it maxes out when you are doing these tasks. It sounds like you are just running out of Processor Speed. Using compressed codecs like DVCProHD or Apple ProRes are very processor intensive, especially on the Power PC systems.

What is the exact format you’re working in? 720p 59.94, 1080p29.97? Let me know.

If you’re referring to the Media 100 product Media 100QX? That was discontinued before my time (September 2000) and I believe the last version of Premiere it worked with was 5.2. I think. It was never developed for on Windows.
