How many frames are you trying to read ahead?
I have just got a dual core system installed and will be trying it soon, however this program was deadly slow using my old 3.2ee cpu on DV material so I would plan to only use it sparingly.

well i am using

average frames
step size = 0
filtering high
crop = colour

planning on importing the footage into a 720x480 16x9 project
and then zooming in on the footage to avoid crop markings.

VirtualDub and the Deshaker plug work great, but they take forever and files have to be done one at a time.

The first thing you need to do is to buy ConnectHD or AspectHD in order to be able to have access to the Cineform Codec in programs other than Vegas or Premier. You also need a recent version of Deshaker which has the HDV size settings as options. From there it is pretty much like working with DV only slower. On the plus side, the quality of the deshaken video is still really good. If you downrez to SD to write to DVD, you'll get great looking resolution that looks like it was done with a steadycam system. If I could just batch file the whole process I'd be pretty happy.

1st of all its exreamly slow...i have a pentium D dual core setup, pretty fast..
with 1 gig of ram... 800 gigs HDD...

in AE 6.5 it often crashes, and some frames won't even render... if there are any disolves, the next track will render black...the list really goes on and on..

I am just finishing up a reinstall of my system from scratch on a dual core opteron 165 system today. As soon as I get the furnace plugin installed I will run it on some handheld footage of 5 sec or so in length and post results.
