I've run into this same problem (I'm using the low end Seagate drive, what are you using?), and while I don't have any definite answers as to why it happens, it seems counterintuitive, I can tell you how I handle it. Using the map function, I check to see what kind of block rate transfer I'll get where my animation will be recorded. Then, if I'll be slowing it down, I set the block limit and q-factor to limit the block size to about 10% less than the map function shows. This seems to work, and lets me play back at 15 fps without resorting to single fields. Stephen
