I've seen this problem with Premeire outputting to a Sony camera via
Firewire. It's like some weird 1394 data sync issue. Windows Movie
Maker didn't do it, which suggested a driver issue. Sony tech support
(IIRC) suggested the same thing. Still don't know what the deal was.

Maybe play with the dip switches on the ADS box? The switch settings
on the card that comes with the box are incorrect. (At least they
were in my case.) The correct settings are on their web site, and
depend on which revision box you have.
