FAQ:Why does playback via IEEE 1394 stutter?


 * Some people have reported that they have to set “Project > Project Settings > General > Playback Settings” to “Play on DV hardware only” to prevent stuttered playback.
 * It is recommended that you do not daisy-chain IEEE 1394 devices, although some people report that it works for them.
 * If you are not using the IEEE 1394 connection for networking then it is a good idea to disable networking on that interface. See the Windows Help and Support for detailed instructions.
