premiere capture they suck!??! 1394

[rsuave5]

i have been capturing mostly with windows movie maker for a while, i like the interface. I used to edit these in premiere le fine, then i switched to movie maker (new beta version)

ive since acquired premiere 6.0 and ive wanted to get more familiar with this program. all my dv-avi caps whether captured with premiere or moviemaker are playing stuttery and no audio in premiere!! if i drag the edit bar in reverse i hear low audio! but when played i hear nothing and it plays badly (skipping)

what has changed! 6.0 was given to me so ithought maybe because it wasnt updated or something but my premiere le that came with this computer does the same thing!

it plays fine in the capture screen and no dropped frames!why are my caps so screwy?

What speed is your mchine?

Premiere is not a good way to play back large files.
Please go ouside the appliction to verify your PREMIERE 1394 AVI captures-- with the WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 6.4 is good(not 7, 8, or 9) .Go outside of the application. Then, when you see no frames are dropped, etc.. (which you know already anyway if you set premiere to report dropped frames)..
and put your clip on the timeline.
Scrubbing can be done here...still i find the playback in premier sluggish on large capture files..
Even my rendered clips have trouble inside PREMIERE when my system plays them truly effortlessly outside the app.

I have a 1.6 gig p4 (ABIT BD-7 or th-7 whichever has the intel chipset )with SDRAM (1gHz)

really? my specs are in my profile. i tried even capping a small clip and it plays it back jerky hmmmmm

it didnt used to

Sometimes double clicking the clip in the timeline and "opening" it in a new window that comes up rather than playing off the timeline direcly takes less of PREMIERE's effort--
By the Way, I've been using Premiere since 4.2 and I'm finding VEGAS VIDEO 3.0 is working faster and better than Premiere except when it comes to special effx- VEGAS may be as good..but I'm still learning it
