Couple of headaches with Edius. We are editing SD footage only from the Sony PD170s. XP has all Microsoft updates and we're using the latest Nvidia drivers.
First, we get the "Disk too slow" message when trying to capture. This seems to have been a frequent discussion on the board for a while. Maybe somebody has come up with a cure. We could use Scenalyzer as a workaround for this issue but would rather do it in Edius.
Our biggest issue, during playback from the timeline, is that it randomly starts dragging, playback becomes very slow and the sound starts stuttering; and the top of the timeline goes red, asking for rendering. At this point it is not usuable, and a reboot is required. That makes it better for a while. This happens with the mixer off. This happens with only one video track and one audio track, no video filters, either no audio filters or the graphic EQ applied.
