Adobe Premiere Troubleshoot playback issues
1. Make certain that all video placed on the timeline has been rendered.
Video files that have not been rendered may not play smoothly from the timeline. Premiere Pro 2.0 real time playback is dependent upon several things including the system CPU, complexity of the project, video file format, video compression, and available system resources.
2. Select an appropriate playback quality setting.
Playback in the Premiere Pro Monitor window can be displayed at either Highest Quality, Draft Quality, or Automatic Quality. By default the Monitor window is set to the Automatic Quality setting. To choose the Monitor window playback quality, open the Monitor window menu and select an appropriate playback quality setting:
— Automatic: When selected, Premiere Pro will dynamically adjust image resolution between Highest Quality and Draft Quality to best address the available system resources.
— Highest Quality: Displays all the pixels of each frame of video. When Premiere Pro is forced to play back unrendered video at the Highest Quality setting, the video may stutter or jerk.
— Draft Quality: Always displays video at one-half resolution in the Monitor Window. When Draft Quality is selected, playback will be smooth but the image quality will be affected.
3. Switch the Desktop Display Mode.
Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 is designed to take advantage of display cards with accelerated GPUs. If you are having playback issues, then make sure you use the correct Desktop Display Mode that corresponds with your display card:
— Compatible: This setting offers the lowest performance but is appropriate for display cards that do not fully support Direct 3D.
— Standard: This is the default setting and is appropriate for video cards that support Direct 3D version 9.
— Accelerated GPU Effects: The availability of this setting requires that the display card support Pixel Shader 2.0, Vertex Shader 1.1, Direct 3D version 9, and have 64 MB of onboard VRAM. This setting is used to provide accelerated performance on specific Premiere Pro 2.0 effects including Motion, Opacity, Fast color correction, Cross dissolve, and Proc amp. It also provides improved support for color space conversion and playback in the Multi-camera monitor.

Disconnect your firewire cable from the video camera. That should solve it. -zen

The logic behind a good DVD is very much the same as building a website.
I concur, one timeline for the entire movie is the best way for an “event video”, doesn’t matter if it’s a wedding, barmitzvah, or a 2 hour home movie tape. Add all your chapter markers and you’re done. I usually wind up digitizing a 2 hour home video and will add like 80 chapter points, then make a chapter menu with 10 to 20 of those 80 chapter points as a “main chapter menu” which is then linked off the “main menu” with the choice to “play” or pick the “chapter menu”.
This way the client can go to the “chapter menu” if they want to see main events of the video like event X, Y or Z – or they have the choice of just hitting PLAY at the start of the DVD and using the ‘skip’ button on their remote control to watch the video and skip through those 80 chapter points I’ve added in. Clients really like being able to do that.
Any besides, on most DVD remotes if you hit MENU that should bring them back to the last menu they were on.
It’s different for every particular project, but you get the idea.
