Steve- The Radius folks should probably answer this, but since I'm on I'll try. [Please no flaming-I'm just trying to help] I've followed this issue for a long time because of my need to produce long projects. This is an area that VVS has problems. (also 16bit audio on PPC Macs) There is a version of studio player that supposedly fixes the problem that remains unreleased. I believe it is due to the heavy investment of time they're making in their Telecast board due out soon. The Telecast unit will have hardware locked audio/video and 16bit audio. No sync problems. The upgrade will cost you. Its likely that sometime afterward the improved studioplayer will be available. Having said that, I have seen many state they were able to A/V sync for 10min with highly tuned setups. However, eventually they would have trouble. I've seen Premiere blamed for this (more sync problems in 4 than 3), the StudioPlayer, drives, bad karma etc. I ultimately went with a Media 100 system for my company, which does not suffer from these issues. I still follow the Radius system with interest, because in the future I would certainly add a VVS if the need arose. I also just love knowing what comes out on the other guys system. I do know that each component must be properly "tuned" with the others to get the most out of the system. For now Premiere 4.01 matches well with QT 2 and MMT 2.01. Whether this would cure your problems, I'm not sure, but I suspect you'll have to wait for the new Studio Player. On the other hand a lot can be done with laying down video in 5 minute segments. Reg
