<HTML>Dougie-
Here's something else to check:
Export your timeline without making the movie self-contained. Then open that file in either FCP or QT Player and check its data rate. I think you'll find it's up in the 13 - 15 MB/sec. range, which might explain why it stutters on its way out to tape.
If you now re-export your timeline, while making the movie self-contained AND re-compressing all frames, you'll have a file that plays back at 3.5 MB/sec.
I do not understand why exports should have such high data rates, especially when all the elements are all DV (I have posted this question, but haven't yet heard a good answer), but I have found recompressing works.
Hope it works for you,
