It sounds to me like your external hard drive is having problems. I ran into a similar situation on a laptop and found out the hard drive wasn't fast enough. You say you are using an external, is it 7500 rpm? Make sure it is, if it is not you might have to buy a new one. Also I recomend using firewire connections instead of USB 2. Supposedly USB 2 is fast enough for video, but everything I have read indicates that it is rated for use in bursts not in sustained data transfers so it can get a little wonky at times. (I am not an expert, but this is a prejudice that I have picked up along the way from articles and information I have read. I could be wrong.)\n\nIf that doesn't work try defragmenting the hard drive. and even try reinstalling vegas and see if that gets you any better results.\n\nHope that helps,\nTony

you're probably just out of RAM (random access memory) you use alot when you watch videos. just go buy some more and install it into your computer

It sounds like you need more Memory, or maybe a faster internet connection.  Videos take a LOT of bandwidth, and the feeds have to buffer the content before it can play.  If they are loading up, and then stop or lose their sound, you may need to either increase your virtual memory or increase the amount of RAM.

could be a few things including, but not limited to, it's possible that your cpu is overheating, video playback requires a lot of processor power and it's possible it's pushing yours over the edge, when was the last time you took some canned air to your heat sync?\nyour video card driver is somehow corrupt or some other issue with the video card, go to the manufacturer's website and download a newer driver (right click My Computer > properties > hardware > device manager > display adapters.  that should show you who makes the video card (if you don't already know), then just go to their website and download the latest driver.\nit's possible windows media player is somehow corrupt (hah imagine that, microsoft software not working?! ;] ), i personally like media player classic as an alternative to WMP if i use windows\nMPC for XP: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/guliverkli/mpc2kxp6490.zip?modtime=1142869788&big_mirror=0\nMPC for 9x/ME: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/guliverkli/mpc98me6490.zip?modtime=1142869817&big_mirror=0\n\nhopefully one of these will help ;)

what program are you using to play them and how old is your computer? the avi file may also be bad and thats why it does that.

Avoid realplayer - it's spyware.  \nBeaten into second place in pcworld.com's \nThe 25 Worst Tech Products of All Time \nhttp://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20060526/tc_pcworld/125772\n\nTry media player classic (link below) - it even plays .rm files

Try using an alternate media player, such as Winamp.

If you're using Windows XP, try a system restore. If that doesn't work, reinstall your video drivers.

Sometimes the popping is from hardware.  Try freeing up space on your hard drive and do a defrag before you render the movie.  You might also try to note where the popping is and try to render the movie to that point if you can, and then render a second clip after that one, and then merge the two together.\n\nDividing it at that point depends on how you did the movie.  If you can control where all the clips are, then just put all the ones before the popping sound together and render, and then repeat for the next segment.  If it's already put together and the sound is already in there, you probably can't fix that.\n\nIs there a chance you can redo the audio, and then render the movie with no sound and then put in the audio later?  I know you said it's an 11 minute video, so maybe that's not an option, but in case you have, say, a slideshow with a musical background, you can try to render just the slideshow, and then render it again with the music in place.\n\nI've had the same problems before when rendering a 1 hour wedding video using Video Studio, and I usually had to break it up into 10 minute clips, and then piece them together.  Right at 10 minutes, I put in a transition to a picture or a black screen, so that when I put my next clip in, I would start it with that same image so that it looked seamless.  But after I upgraded my hard drive and had a lot of free space to work with, the popping went away.  It would sometimes come back, but I would just defrag and it wouldn't be an issue anymore.\n\nSorry this is rambling, but hopefully it gives you some ideas as to where to start.  Hopefully it's as easy as a defrag or freeing up space on your hard drive, but if you have to render parts over, maybe this gives you an idea as to where to start.

Sounds like you have too many things running at the one time on your PC. Try using Media P. on it's own.

It depends which version you're using. This happened to me when I was using version 3. Quite annoying! I found it quite difficult to fix. The only way I could do it was by uploading and then re-cutting the original video file at the points that needed fixed.

get an app called fraps ... record the flightsim game as ur playing it .... convert to vcd mpeg1 in tmpgenc ... use the source range to edit and trim it up in tmpgenc...use the mpeg tools to splice more than one piece together ... you can get slightly higher quality if you use mpeg2 dvd settings but it will make it too large unless its a short clip ...

It is obvious that you run out of memory. You've got a pretty strong system however, with continued usage, say 10 minutes, your temporary memory is clogged with all the data that is now obselete. What should happen is that the old data should be dumped and new data should be accomodated. What is actually happening is that your old data sits pretty, exhausting your memory, though after 10 minutes of usage coz you've got plenty of it. You need some program like MEMTURBO or others, some of which are free as well. What these memory management program do is that they clear the old and make room for the new.\n\nThe reason for choppy video being, when you run out of memory the graphic signals bypass the memory and are processed without a buffer either from the hard disk or the network connection, which is obivously not as fast as the buffer (memory). Hope this helps.

Are you using a dialup connection, then there may be a speed problem.\n\nOtherwise, reinstall drivers.\nTry one web cam at a time.\nRAM memory is too low...

There is no software that can do that. The only way to resolve this is buy a new memory stick :)\nBut you can prevent that from happening by using the setting that good for your memory and using application that fit to your memory
