If you mean slow down to a few fps then that's to be expected.
You need a tool such a Twixtor to slow motion that much without issues.

Just a long shot - but if you have GPU = ON - then try to switch it off.

I have seen quite some interesting examples of stuttering in the final output when using GPU = ON.

Right click on the clip and choose "disable resample" and you should be golden.

By no means - let me rephrase in percentage: about 20% reduction (VE set to 80% in sections). I should add that the slow-mo appears fine on PC playback, but looks abysmal on DVD playback, which is the final destination.

ritsmer and essami: Thanks to both of you - I will try each suggestion and post results.

Thanks

Unfortunately neither of the suggestions helped; playback was juttery and unuseable.

However (and I'm sure I'll catch hell for this) I discovered that when reversing a clip V11 reverses the field order automatically; when I'd reset the field order to match the project (lower first) the clip stuttered on playback. I went ahead and restored the field order to upper first on reversed clips, rendered, and DVD playback looked correct. I also applied this method to clips with VE's applied and so far it seems to smooth out the juttery playback. I'm wondering if this isn't a fix for the VE issue...anyone?

These points were discussed in this thread and all the ones that spin off from there.
