AVI codecs still unusable…for rendering in after effect

[Luke Maslen]

Hi Oscar,

I’ll see if someone can test this today or tomorrow and get back to you. From which application(s) are you trying to render to the Blackmagic 4:2:2 codec?

Hy luke

thanks for reply

Directly from after effects 6.5, i render a composition in avi black magic 10bits 4:2:2, pal 720X576.

When i render i have this message:” after effects error: an unspecified avi or directshow error occured. insuffisant space disk to run task. (8) (53::25)”

the part of the message in italic may be some different because i translate it from french.

if i use an other video utility, virtualdub for example i have an error to..

i tried the stand alone codecs on two computers (both were independant workstations in dual xeon configuration)

i tried to use 8bits hd codec to render in pal, but it is the same issue…

the codecs are the 4.9 version

those problems don’t occurs on computers which have the decklink extreme

Hi Oscar,

Thank you for your additional information. We will try to replicate that and then reply to you either way with what we’ve found.

Hi

Sounds like you are out of Disk space or have a disk error – can you check your disks and video array via Disk Management and perform a surface scan and verifiy how much space you have left.

Hy andrew

No it isn’t a problem of disk space.

Ours disks on all computers tested have more than 10 Gb of freespace in local drive.
For the network drive we have more than 70GB free (computers on where we render with the decklink)

By experience, sometimes if the codec has “a problem” it return an error like that (for ex you use a wrong definiton of video for the codec), because the case avoid writing data on your hard drive: the computer thinks your stuff is wrong.

I said sometimes.

we will wait for the reply of the blackmagic team , who are experts on programmation/errors on their products, because many factors can produce an errors on a computer…

Hi Oscar

Can we modify your workflow so that you render to a local disk array then move it to the network drive ?

This may help the process.

Hy Andrew

All tests i’ve done were on the local hard drive..

But i retry it, and it was the same problem.

Do you think some other codecs could developpe an imcompatibility (xvid, divx, indeo, matrox digisuite codec suite -mjpeg,dv25,dv50,dvcpro,mpeg2- )?

All ours computers with a decklink and those codecs can render correctly with the blackmagic avi codec.

Regards.

Hi,
Is it possible to render with black magic codec without the blackmagic card ? i know one can read the files but suppose it needs the hardware to write one.
