Advice Needed with Videowave Skipping / Jumping

[hallorans]

I need some advice and wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem. Often the first few seconds of a captured video or scene will skip, jump, not snyc. etc. Lately, while in Videowave and editing, entire scenes will skip around or slow down or jump. This happens especially when using the trimmer. End result is video that plays normally on the Sony video camera ends up jumpy and skipping on my videowave production.

 

Any ideas here? I have been using Roxio EC 7 very sucessfully for 18 months and have made dozens of previous videos and burned them to DVD without problems, and with the same camera, firewire, equiptment, etc. I have 180 gig available on hardrive and am not storing old video or files, just the 35 minutes of raw footage captured for this video.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you done the usual maintenance items like getting rid of malware and spyware, and defragging your hard drive?

Yes, I have. That is partly why am perplexed with the buggy performance lately.

Do a test burn with a RW DVD disc to see if it actually burns that way. Also, I realize that you probably do this already, but make sure nothing else is running in the background, when you do your capture.
