I'm throwing this out there to see if anyone has experienced this before and might know of a solution that I haven't already tried.
I just built a new PC, running XP 64 SP2 and was forced to install a newer version of premier for reasons including the fact that running 6.0 on the XP Pro sp2 OS on the same system would crash explorer to the point I have to reinstall the OS.
I'm running CS3 (not happy about it either) and no matter what I do whenever I play the timeline (space bar) the edit point jitters back and forth about 20 or so frames and the video output is choppy because of it. Audio plays at proper speed, but the video jumps all over the place. When I scrub the timeline this does not happen.
I'm running an AMD Athalon 64 X2 dual 5400+ (2.81 GHz) and have 2 gigs of ram. I have the newest nvidia drivers for my card. I do run dual-monitor, and the problem persists no matter which monitor the preview is on or if I disable a monitor.
Playback only takes up 60% of my processor power.
I suspect this is a problem with running a dual core, but I'm unsure. It just seems like premier is talking to both cores separately and getting each one to render the screen at the same time (rather then running together) and that's causing the jittery playback.
Any suggestions? I've googled the problem, and have found no real fixes.
