  • A research question on the DV video format?

    Had anyone here experienced the problem of your DV video files
    not playing smoothly on the computer?..And no matter which
    application you use when capturing, the capture process
    freezes?…..And when Previewing in vegas thru firewire it
    refuses to show up when playing thru any DV video file on
    the timeline?

    Anyone ever experienced this before or heard of someone
    having this problem and if a solution was found?

    The video not playing smoothly means you don’t have enough RAM?

    Nero 8 (and probably 9) has a nasty habit of intercepting DV files and causing applications not to be able to play them. For example: Boris RED and Nero 8 cannot exist on the same PC for this reason (acknowledged by Boris as a Nero problem) So if this person has Nero Burning ROM on their PC they might want to uninstall it and see if it fixes the problem.

    Ahhhhhhh…
    Thanks John, that indeed sounds like one solution
    to explore in addressing the situation.

    BTW….Thanks also for the Kontakt 3 recommendation.
    I’m going with it.

    What happens in many applications that cannot co exist is they will often use the same dll (Shared Dynamic Link Library) files. Those are the files that allow code to be changed without affecting the source program. Shared DLLS are also supposed to share CPU power and with so many similar applications that run resident it is more likely to have these type of problems. File associations take it a step further and since these shared DLL’S now belong to more than one application it is not hard to grasp why there are conflicts. Back in the not to distant past the big fight was over IRQ conflicts, if you had conflicting programs that wanted to occupy the same priority status to INTERRUPT the CPU as the other it would crash. This is along those lines.
