I'm using Videowave (EMC 9) to piece together a short video. While trying to preview the production from within videowave, the video portion freezes in the same place every time; however, the audo continues to play through to the end.

I've also tried to ouput the file as a wmv to see what it would look like and it's very choppy. Again, the audio seems to play through fairly well but the video stutters, stops, and skips.

Has anyone encountered anything like this?

Thank you,

Frank

What video card do you have?  Get the latest updated drivers for it, and see if that makes a difference.

Radeon X300 series - I checked and the drivers are up to date.

This is the first time I'm using EMC 9 but, up till now, I've been using EMC 8 and have not had this problem. I read in another post that EMC 9 does not like wmv files, which was what I was using, so I switched to avi. That let me get by the "freeze" point but the video was still very choppy. I didn't go through the whole production so I don't know if it would have froze up at another point.

I appreciate your suggestions. Thanks for your help!

EMC 9 has no problem at all using wmv files, I don't know where you your information. Choppy video on the preview is pretty normal, its whats on the final DVD that counts. Have you done a defrag, etc lately?

I got that tidbit from an April 22nd post titled, "Narrowed my problem down to WMV's, please help".

I thought it might be the case that it was just choppy on the preview so I output the production as a wmv and viewed it outside of EMC - it was just as choppy.

I ran disk defragmenter's disk analyzer and it determined that I did not need to defragment.

I'm at a loss.

Defrag it, anyway.
