saved rendered file plays back to camcorder with hic cups

My computer plays back the rendered saved file video file onto the monitor without any hitches. But, when I do a project playback to my camcorder , the camcorder mini dv copied file will have hic cups about every 2 to 4 minutes. I need a good copy of the saved rendered file into my mini dv camcorder as I then pass it onto my Super VHS vcr . I caputure the raw file from the camcorder for computer processing with the following project properties. 24 bits, 720x480 display, 29.97 fps, lower field first, uncompressed AVI files, 3080 Kb/sec check data rate, 48,000 kHz, 16 bit stereo. Any one had this problem ?

I'm a little confused -- you capture in DV format and render your project to uncompressed AVI? You should render to DV prior to outputting back to the camcorder to avoid having to transcode on-the-fly.

what do you mean by that? i have hiccups when i use the project playback function and record straight to the dv cam. r u saying i should use create a video file and make an *.avi file of the movie then transfer that to the cam? right now i created a video file of it in *.mpg to turn into dvd because i was frustrated with the hiccups that would show up on the tape. is there a way to skip creating a video file and just use project playback to transfer from pc to tv?

I always create a .avi file on disc when rendering and then export that .avi file back to the DV camera as a separate step.

I assumed that the PC has enough work to do in rendering the .avi file in its own time without having to do it in real time and transfer to the camera.

If there are problems I would assume that it is the PC not being able to keep up with the rendering and recording process simultaneously.

I don't use VS but MSP and save my edited clips back to the DV cam without rendering a new file. Just output the preview window to the camcorder and record it.
