When I use Media Studio Pro 6.5 Director's Cut and I play videos out through to tape via DV Encoder Type 1 through my Canopus ADVC100, it drops out audio at the 2:05 minute mark. At about the 2:05 minute point, give or take a few frames, there is about a 1 second audio dropout. When I go back to the spot where the dropout was and play from just before that point and beyond, the audio in the spot that just dropped out is now fine. It happens whether I play from the timeline, export the MS DV recording or print to tape. When just watching the video play on the preview screen on my computer without sending to tape, it seems to be fine. If I play the same video file through Windows Media player, Vegas Video, or Scenalyser out to tape it plays fine, even after saving it as DV-Encoder Type 1 file.
I have defragged both hard drives and it didn't seem to help. I tried running the time line with task manager running to see if I was using too much memory and it never got above 100 megs, and about 11 percent of the processor. I have also turned off write caching, auto updating off and system restore off on the capture drive. I checked in Device Manager and the Firewire card does share an interrupt with the USB controller. Could this be the problem? Nothing is currently hooked to the computer via USB, but it might check every so often? I'm not sure how to change the IRQ in XP.

I have found two other people that have the same problem at the 2:05 mark, but they haven't solved the problem either.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks
Roy
