Make sure you have the decklink video desktop output turned off.

Catalyst and decklink desktop do not work well together.

The decklink video desktop gives you another video display output - but it does not have any opengl acceleration.
If you accidentally drag a window onto this desktop display - you will kill performance.

Thanks Richard, the same notice is now posted on the High End site, linked to from the Catalyst v3.3 support pages and community site. http://www.highend.com/support/technical_support/DecklinkVideoDesktop.asp

Its one of those things, that if people have accidentally dragged a window onto the decklink output - it will kill catalyst.

I had the output on - here - with no ill effects.

No, not all the time. I got a feeling that it was when changing to either DV films or jpg pictures.

wouldnt have been the files, but related to timing.
i think the decklink desktop might have subtely caused a synchronisation issue.
