	I don't know why it's happening, but why are you using productivity
mode?  Use hires interlaced and things will go faster (less chipram bandwidth
being eaten up).  The a3000 has a built-in deinterlacer.  (There still are
a few reasons why you might use productivity, but they're pretty rare if you
have a deinterlacer).
