Please help if you can
I did something and I cannot figure out what, when I capture in 6.5 everything goes right, when I play the vid. back in the time line it drags and skips, if I mute the audio the video is fine, If I double click the video in the bin it is all good... so Tonight the audio and video skips ( a frame will freeze for a split sec.) I know it is something I did because everything was fine at a time. If I use Ulead video studio it plays fine, (I have captured this in both programs to see if it was the vid.) So please help if you can
THank you

What format did you capture in? Did the exact same video work before? Have you scrubbed the timeline to preview before editing?

I did not scrub the time line, this is streight from capture to view.. there are no transitions, it does not matter if my clip is 10 minutes or 45 the quality is the same..

this is a great site by the way

I think therein lies your problem. I've a sneaky feeling your previously captured footage was via Firewire to a DV AVI. Those capture settings you have there (640x480) do not represent firewire capture . As Premiere 6.x doesn't "do" realtime preview, you'll need to scrub the timeline before the video preview properly. Just my two penny's worth!

Thank you, but I am using dv now, I thought you only scrub to preview your transitions, this was originally a video cassette, 6.5 would only capture 10 minutes of the video then shut it down so I captured it to my minidv,

what would you suggest is the ideal settings, and do you know why when it was a cassette it would shut down as well

You are correct, I adjusted to dv capture and it is beautiful thank you.
do you know what I can do to stop 6.5 from stopping the recording when I capture from vcr, so I do not have to keep tapping to minidv
