The only thing installed etc between the setup working" perfectly" and now
is a Corel Mega Gallery browser.

The faulty movie was rendered before I reinstalled everything, in fact it
was restored from a DAT backup.

I've rerendered the all of the clips comprising the faulty movie since my
first post. The movie originally had virtual clips, I removed them, used
motion settings on individual clips, rerendered and the dr reduced to
5.6MB/sec, playback was no better.

All of the individual clips analyse at average 3.3MB/sec

I've just done a couple of cuts only segments to see what happens, and they
seem fine, and dr's are 3.3. Wierd stuff.
I'm going to backup my projects and format my drive etc, start a new
project and see what happens.

(As an aside, since I reinstalled everything my computer monitor now starts
up with horizontal "smears" from all desktop icons; it clears after 2-3
minutes)
Also; when reading some material from my files on VVS in bed last night, I
found a reference to; a "full screen optimizer" Adobe plug-in, which I've
never seen. This was in a Premiere 4.2 update read me. (Did this
subsequently become the 4.2.1 patch ?)
