Glenn, I am coming to this late, but…. Is it possible that your problem has to do with hard drive access during playback? Are you working with 50 minute samples that are continuous? If so, you might try editing some of those samples into smaller bits of about 3 minutes long and, for the purposes of testing, lay the shorter bits into the timeline at various points along the total length of your program. In the edit screen, you can select a short section of sample, use "COPY AS" and the orginal TC should be retained. If the short samples TRIGGER at the correct time as you roll your video, but still seem to DRIFT, I would suggest your problem is not related to TC at all, but may be a playback speed problem. You mentioned a test you did where you detected a difference in pitch of a voice sample. So it seems likely that a playback problem related to your SCSI controller could be the culprit. Just a thought. Regards, Geoff Adams
