Stuttering problem

I have a project and I'm having problems with the video stuttering just before and during a crossfade. It gets even worse when using a velocity envelope. so bad that is totaly unexceptable.I'm using Vegas 5a.

any ideas as to what might be causing this?
I edited the clips down to what I wanted using the S key, If that makes a difference. can't see that it would, just thought I'd through that in there. I defrag often so I don't think it's that......

My system:
P4 2 gig/ 512mb of ram/ 3 hard drives, C: windows XP
D: Vegas software E: audio files used buy Sonar V: all media files associated with Vegas ( 160 gig sata drive).
F: windows swap files (completly seperate drive for windows and Vegas.

Are there any windows services that Vegas needs?
some have been shut off to save resources. It was recomended in a "how to tune windows XP for audio" artical.

Any help would save me from a mental breakdown, as this is happening in the middle of a paying gig.
 
Re: Stuttering problem

Have you rendered that section to see if it's only in your preview, I've noticed that happens on my clips before rendering, after render...it's gone.
 
Re: Stuttering problem

I've actually printed to tape and it does it there to..
The only other thing a failed to mention was that I'm previewing to a external monitor. does that suck up more resources? maybe 512mb of ram ain't cutting it???
Oh ya, I put Vegas on another drive just to rule that out also.

Another night to pull my hair out again..........
 
Re: Stuttering problem

Is it recompressing before sending to the external monitor? Gobble gobble on resources.
 
Re: Stuttering problem

Yes it is re-compressing on extenal monitor. Is that a no no?
How do I stop it?
