  • “Unknown Recorder Error”

    Posted by Trailerman49 on October 5, 2005 at 3:35 pm

    Have been using Ppro1.5 for some time now. I capture clips using a Canon ZR-60. It has been doing great until recently. Everytime I attempt to capture with this camera or my Panasonic DVCG-80 I get the same error message. It usually happens during the first minute of so of capture. It quits capturing and the clip window opens. I havn’t changed anything. Can’t figure it out. Any ideas?

    If you are running antivirus software with realtime scanning, try disabling while capturing.

    Replaced firewire and firewire board. Still getting “unknown recorder error”. I’m running 3 hard drives (2 external). Ran “scandisk” and found that I had errors on one of my external drives. Scandisk corrected the error. Ppro back running smoothly again! Thanks for all input.

    “Scandisk” revealed the problem but “defrag” actually corrected the problem. My external hard drive was so fragmented that there was not enough “free” space to handle a large project eventhough disk properties indicated that I might have 110 gb free…..it was not all in one place on the disc. This is why I was getting the “unknown recorder error” message. Solution: if you have other projects on your hard drive, “defrag” your hard drive before you start another large project so as to put all of your free space in one place for your program to use.
