Rendering problems Premiere Pro CS3

[tangosalon]

Hi there!

I'm having a terrible time editing a video with Premiere Pro CS3. First, every 5 minutes the software stops working and I ge the message "Adobe...is not responding" so I have to shut it down and restart it. Then, when I try to export my footage into a movie the rendering process stops all of the sudden. It just renders about 50% of the clips. Even this 50% turns out terribly bad, with speed changes and stuff like that.
I should add that my project is only 2 minutes long, and I'm not working with any sophisticated effect or things like that.
Do you guys think it's a problem with the software or could it be a problem with the PC. I'm working on a Dell XPS 1530, Core2Duo, 2 Gb Ram, 128 NVIDIA Ge-Force video processor.

I've been trying sony vegas Platinum 9 also, but I find that I can't do some nice things premiere allows me to do, like scaling, and playing with the clips.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!

WHAT is you source? Or does it happen with kind of video sources???

It was happening with any source, but I've already figured out what was wrong. It was a damned corrupted MPEG clip of about 1 sec. in the entire timeline. Once I got rid of it replacing it by a new one, it worked out perfectly.

Thanks anyway!

Best regards,
