I swapped out my drive for a brand new 7200 RPM drive and its working much better. Its mostly resolved the playback errors I was having before!!! My old drive passed all diagnostic tests and worked fine with video in Logic and PT 10, and even editing with Media Composer! (I can't figure that one out...) Anyhow, I'm super happy now. Thanks Smurfyou for the drive suggestion!

The one video engine problem I do get, is that the it never works on first launch. I have to open a project, get video errors, close the project, re-enable the video engine, then re-open the project. After that, everything works smoothly. I must say, i'm pretty happy to have just 1 predictable problem now.
