  Capture aborted because audio attempted to overrun its buffers

  Posted by Julian Roberts on February 4, 2012 at 7:50 pm

  Hi – I’m new to Media Composer, having come across from FCP7. I’ve been trying to capture from HDV tape (in 1394 mode via Firewire 800), but 30 or so seconds in I get the audio buffer overrun error message. I’ve searched the Avid forums and the net, but the only threads I can find go back a number of years.

  One thread I found suggested increasing the audio buffer setting in the Audio Settings. However, I don’t seem to have this option in the Audio Settings dialogue. I don’t have any Avid hardware attached to my system, but I am running a Blackmagic Design Decklink Studio 2 IO card.

  Can anyone please help me find a solution please? I was rather expecting the MC tape capture exoperience to be be solid , to perhaps I’m doing something wrong!

  I’m using a fairly conventional MacPro 8 core set up with 10 Gb of RAM and the BMD Decklink Studio 2.

  Thanks very much

  Julian
