I was able to reproduce it on one of my machine - by slowing it down - reducing memory. What I meant by 7 of 8 cds I meant 8 different projects all with the same intro and only 1 does this. By all accounts the intro sound, tempo, and duration is the same.
It behaves very much like its all just too big - it plays directly off the cd so the rate at which it feeds from the cd to the machine is jerky - As if it needs to preload or something. It did the same thing when the projector was copied to the machine itself. The cds are simple - there are .aif files - internal and bitmaps internal. There are some videos (QT) and some external sound but all of that is working fine. All your help is much appreciated.
