Well Sorry to report, no go… Although it happened later around the 15 minute mark again this was a 720p pal project on a 720p declink and premiere pre set..
Shame, I got optimistic when when it ran so long, but at 15minutes the video stopped and audio continued

This does work with SD footage, but the output on the Preview monitor suffers a litle, however there is no difference on 720p footage.. It still stops and stutters.

I did specify.. IT happens no matter whether I use a PREMIERE OR BLACKMAGIC PRESET…
IT is more noticeable on SD avi, mpgeg footage OR 720P MOV footage so I would try those pre-sets..
It happens on a 30 minute and 2 hr projects…
It is clearly specified in the Premiere fine TUNING section that the DATABASE and CACHE files be on a separate drive.. NOT THE RENDER FILES, THEY ARE ON MY RAID TEN SAME AS PREMIERE???
Thanks again for your prompt assistance

Thanks Joshua, but it is Tony, I am the original post… Firstly, it happens whether I use the external monitor or not. This was the first thing I thought. I use two monitors PLUS and EXTERNAL viewing monitor. It happens whether the external is on or off.
It happens with any format. Mov, avi, mpeg, etc… Mostly in SD but also in HD with AVCHD.
The lag happens sometimes after 1 minute but mostly after 3 to 5 minutes. It happens whether I use a Premiere SD or HD preset OR a Blackmagic Preset. It happens with all versions of drivers from 9.0 to 9.0.3. Tried everything I can think of.. It only happens on the machine with the Black magic card in it. .My other pc is almost Identical with no Blackmagic card, and it is perfect.
Thank you.

I am with you there. I have had to start using Edius to edit because after spending a small fortune on CS6 and Studio card, it is useless. I sure wish Blackmagic would bloody do something about it.. Was having these types of issues with a Matrox M02 mini and migrated to Decklink Studio because I was reassured this didn’t happen.. Ripped of again!

Good luck with that… I have tried the last 5 drivers video and studio.. No difference..

Well Bob, with the UTMOST RESPECT, Even with the new cables, the same thing is happening. I don’t mind spending the money, but I like to make sure what the problem is before I go and lash out.. I have just ordered a $600 dollar Allen & Heath Mixer so I will see how it goes tomorrow, BUT I believe you may have mislead me and put doubts in my mind… You specifically said IT WILL NOT BE THE MIXER?? I Feel it still could be because channel 3 and 4 on the mixer are doing the same thing when I plug 3 and 4 or 1 and 2 out of the Declink into it. If I am wrong, and I will know tomorrow, I will eat my words. I do agree that it is very unlikely to be the Decklink but do not agree about the mixer at this point as it is the only thing left in the chain to be at fault. Thanks all the same.

Well Bob and to all reading this post. I MAY have finally solved it… Although I have changed all cables many times, I finally just thought I would go out and buy a whole set of new cables.. ALL OF THEM.. As Well as this I removed the large connector on the back of the Decklink card and sprayed it with contact cleaner.. Put everything back with new cables and everything is working perfectly… FINALLY… But with out speaking too soon, I will try it again FIRST thing in the morning cause often that would be when the left channel would play up.
So Bob and all that offered assistance I am MOST grateful and I hope this post may help others… Even when I was certain all my cables and spare cables were fine, SO FAR they obviously were not.

Well Bob all I can say is everything I try confuses the Hell out of me even further…I am really grateful for all your experienced, educated information and advice…
If I could take a little more of your time to explain my further confusion even further, and whether after all this I MAY? have a faulty Decklink? I firstly plugged in the amp and some UNpowered speakers of course.1. First thing that happened. Left Channel DEAD Or One channel Dead?? This has been happening a bit from time to time even after trying different TRS cables…I only had Channel ONE and Two out of the Declink into Channel One And Two of the mixer.
2. Unplugged DEAD Channel, and I was getting sound from BOTH speakers???? Panned Left to Right Both working.. Declink Channel ONE only into Mixer Mono TRS channel One ONLY.. Yet sound from both speakers? Is this Normal???
3.Plugged the DEAD Channel Back in, now working… Got the little NEW Peavy 6 Channel Mixer out and tried that. All worked so far.
4. Plugged Channel 3 and 4 out of the Decklink into 3 and 4 into 3 and 3 on the Peavey Mixer and both sets worked fine.. Only tried One set at a time. So Chan1 and 2, then 3 and 4 but no distortion at all.
5.Plugged everything back into the yamaha INCLUDING channel 3 and 4, Which have never worked in the yamaha mind you, and EVERYTHING worked for the first time.. Again only 1 and 2 at one time then 3 and 4, but this has been the way I have tested all along. Thought I would try to get two channels at each time before moving to 4.? Went back to the original configuration and there was the distortion all over again on Channels 3 and 4 of the mixer.I am LOST.. ? Never had an issue this Bazar, and I have seen some Bazar issues.. I used to work as a computer tech, Microsoft Certified and come across my share of weird things. Not audio related of course?
DO YOU have any idea of what the Hell is going on here. I have tried everything I can think of now, short of pulling the Decklink out and re-setting it. unfortunately I don’t have a spare PCIe Slot. But I have tried removing the large connector on the back and putting it back in making sure it was firmly in and tightened.

I agree TOTALLY, I have believed all along it isn’t the Blackmagic card, the mixer I was in two minds about.
I was only testing with what I had around, before I go out and spend more money on a guess, which is what I have been doing. I have two mixers now, because at first I was sure it was the mixer. So before I go out and buy a decent set of speakers, I want to make sure they are the cause.. I have a beautiful Luxman Amp in the garage that is collecting dust. It hasn’t seen much use and although it is overkill, if this is the issue, (speakers) I will hook up the Luxman and I have my eye on a pair of bookshelf Cerwin Vega’s.
I just used a pair of Altech Lansing Self Powered speaker. Although they are not As good as monitors or hifi speakers it was an experiment. I just hooked them up to the TS Left and Right OUTPUT on the mixer via RCA and RCA to 6.5mm Adapters. Which is exactly how I have the MS2’s Hooked up.. AND yes I have tried several different RCA cable etc. At the moment I am using a good pair of Monster RCA’s. I am still experimenting.. Now I am about to get the Luxman, dust it off and hook it up with a cheapo pair of NON powered speakers I have.. Depending on the out come, I will leave it like that and get a GOOD pair of Bookshelf’s.
