adobe premiere pro preview choppy, lag, hangs, does nothing.

Well i got this new tiny camera and it imports to my computer as avi. When I opened them in premiere my previews didn't work for anything. well i found a fix for now. atleast it worked for me. trust me i tried alot.

open up adobe media encoder. i picked uncompressed avi file from one of the menus. once that was done, took like 28 mins, opened up premiere and dragged the video in and it now plays fine in preview.


by the way the camera is the vd80. mini dv video camera. well hope this helps anyone with same problem.

sysprep unable to change admin password

wds, mdt2010, windows xp

Using wds and lite touch i was getting the following error after syspreping my machines: setup was unable to change the password for user account administrator


Basically I built the image before hand and I had the admin password coded in the image. For some reason it didnt like this. I tried several ways and the only fix I found was to recreate my image without having an admin password. Basically i reset the password to blank..

From there after booting to lite touch and imaging, after it reboots it goes through with changing the admin password. I also have encrypted the password in my sysprep.inf. I read somewhere that encryption was causeing the error but tried both ways.


summary: create admin account with no password before sysprep.
