strange thing:

my firewire-connection from my sony DSR-PD150P to my PC (AMD 2.6 ghz+, 256
MB ram, harddrive 7200 rpm) works fine when capturing.

when printing to DV (using adobe premiere 6.5), or just playing back a clip
on the sony-display, i get drop outs every couple of seconds. the display
turn blue (no signal, i guess), and comes back a second later.

could it be lack of computing-power on my PC? that would amaze me, since
capturing video works so flawlessly.

You could try a different lead, maybe you lead is intermittent, I'm not sure
if that would manifest it's self during up load. maybe not, but it's worth
trying a different firewire lead, it's not always the software and the
computer that is at fault :-)

Make sure you have shut down ALL. applications running in the
backround........aditionally disconnect/switch off Any USB devices you
may have connected.....

.....If you read some of the past posts, you'll see that I had Lots of
similar trouble..........tried everything, including trying different
editing software.......eventually traced it to my cable modem connected
Via USB.........even when Idle it would poll the port 1-2 times a
minute and effect the firewire output........now I just unplug it when
doing video work.

There is a fix. It takes a little time and patience, but you only have
to do it once. See:
