  Need help with “Exception: Unknown error: -1”

  Posted by Neil Ryan on April 2, 2008 at 1:03 am

  Can anyone explain this error and help me work around it?
  Occurs during OMF export of part of my sequence; its a long sequence broken into 6 segments and the first 2 segments exported okay.
  Message from the Console reads:

  Exception caught in APlayer::Play – Exception: Unknown error: -1, filename:SHOW 1 April02 Seg3.omf
  Deleting AFileIO before disconnect

  Please Note; I did successfully export the segment as groups of tracks and get through the whole segment, so I guess that rules out faulty media.
  However, the combined filesizes of the groups of OMF files was larger than 2gb.
  While I don’t know if the file size of an OMF of the whole segment would be the same as adding up the file sizes of groups of OMFs, I’m assuming the total size was going to greater than 2gb, and that this is what the error message means.

  Thoughts?

  Thanks,
  Neil.
