HDV jerky clips

I'm editing for the first time in HDV. We shot with the Panasonic HVX in 720 at 24p. As I was working on the timeline, I noticed that some of the clips were jerky while other played at "full res". I thought this was because the files were so large and that this would be reconciled once I output. The video is only 5 minutes long.
Not so much! I just burned a DVD using compressor and the jerky clips are still jerky. I am running the project off an external Lacie 200 Gb drive. Could that be the problem? Should I run it off the Mac's hard drive?
The sequence settings should match, as we imported footage from a firestore and FCP recognized the settings.
Mac OS X 10.4.10, 2x2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM, Final Cut Pro 5.1.4, Sequence settings HD 960x720, 16:9, DVCPRO HD 720p60, 23.98.
Any help would be great!
