Miro DC30: Jerky Playback

When outputting video to an NTSC monitor, the video appears jerky, or not full motion.
Make sure the data rate setting in Adobe Premiere is not set higher than 3.5M/sec or that the hard drive is capable of the data rate you are using. Ideally, using a SCSI Ultra-Wide drive will provide the fastest data transfer rate such as the Quantum Atlas II or Micropolis AV Gold drive. If you lower the data rate in increments and reach a point where the video is not jerky, this indicates your drive not performing efficiently. Regular defragmentation of your drive and checking for errors frequently is recommended.
