playback faults

[jillpad]

Playback has started to skip small sections of a few recordings, though most play perfectly. Sometimes sound drops out for a short section while the picture continues jerkily. Sometimes quite large chunks of sound and picture are not played back. I doubt this is a recording problem, because repeating playback over the skipped area reveals some (sometimes all) of what's been skipped.

The machine is over a year old and so far it has performed well. I recently removed the HDD to a powered enclosure for easy file transfer, and this works well.

Any ideas about this problem and its solution would be welcome.

Were you experiencing this problem before putting the disk in a powered enclosure?

Ah! I had a suspicion I may be asked this. Thanks for the reply, Martin. The answer is no, I'm pretty sure not. Though they didn't appear straight away.
