Gregory: Once again, thanks for such swift response. Have performed multitudes of both cold & warm re-boots. Have field-order =1. Have initialized the BCD5000. I'm thinking it's something internal to Release2.000. Talked (phone) w/ a guy in Georgia who remembers having such a problem, that seemed to fix itself contemporaneously w/ his upgrading to ver. 2.01a. Sometime next week should be receiving ver.3xx. and, with fingers rigidly crossed, HOPE its the fix. Simply can't imagine any other parameters/tweaks/combos to try. As I mentioned in our first message, no onne on the hardware side seems to have a clue (read: "unfamiliar w/ the problem, so it can't be ours..". Will keep you posted. Thanks, and have a very happy New Year!

Theo., >>field order stuff…. There was a long thread back in March about field-order gremlins that could jump into the Vista (due to it's programmable nature) but I searched and couldn't find any specific reference to problems with 3DS version 2.00 or 2.01a (2.01 died an early death). If so, then by extrapolation r3 alone may not solve your problem. I assume you have controlled your startup as the Good Greg recommened as to eliminate the possibility of ANY other software messing with the Vista? Video moron that _I_ am, I've had video stuttering twice before (using Vista+DQ50P+AG7750). Both times were unrelated to field rendering and totally due to my inexperience: once I had my snyc set up improperly, and once I forgot to reblack the tape after changing something. Begging your pardon if I'm way off base here, but one simple but looming question: Can you put an animation cleanly to tape with your hardware WITHOUT rendering to fields? JKJ (familiar with crossed-fingered animating) PS: and one tiny unrelated suggestion – if you were to use Reply instead of starting a new thread, forum continuity would reign! <g>

Theo- I had the same problem with 2.0. 2.01 or 2.01a fixed it. I was using the 5000 with a BVW75. I remember because it was completly unexplained. I laid part of an animation down, and then restored more rendered frames and began laying the remainder of the animation down. The field orders were reversed (at least thats how they were laying to tape). Seems like rebooting cured it for me, but after the upgrade to 2.01a, I've never seen the problem again. I'm using 3 now and don't have the problem, so I think you'll be safe. -Mark
