When you are refering to “Graphics Cards” in your header are you using the hack to be able to run CS5?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply.
I don’t know about hack for CS5? What is that?
Do I need it? Where can I get it?
I thought the drivers were sufficient.
Thanks

Hello,

It could be Office causinga problem, also have you tried to go back a version for the gtx driver? I had a bluescreen crash when I was working with cs5. I have the hpxw8600 and I used the driver from HP for the grpahcis card no problem, as soon as I used the latest form the Nvidia website i got bluescreen crashes. Went back to the HP and it was working fine no problems.

So look a tninstaling Office, then testing, then go back to a prevous GTX driver if you continue crashing.

The Mercury Playback Engine in CS5 uses certain NVIDIA display cards to accelerate Premiere. The GTX 470 is approved, I don’t believe the 460 is, but if you search the web for “studio 1 nvidia hack” you will find instructions to easily tell Premiere that your card is approved and this will benefit performance.

This may have nothing to do with your issue at all, but is something you would want to do to speed up editing in any case.

[Suraj Dass] “DV seems to work fine but with HDV I am unable to export to any format .”
What formats are you trying to export HDV to?? Is this the only time it crashes? or are the crashes random?

Like Jeff mentioned about the hack at studio1 here is the link:

Hi Brian,

Been trying to export HDV to mpeg2 and mpegDVD. Kept failing.
Just managed to export to avi and then make dvd in encore successfully.
perhaps I need to upgrade my card from gtx460 to gtx470.

You do not need to upgrade your card, I am running cs5 perfect on an HP XW8600, Quad Xeon cpu, Nvidia Quadro fx3700.

You could try a new clean build of your system

1. Windows OS
2. Graphics drivers
3. System drivers via Windows update
4. Quicktime
5. Adobe Software
6. Adobe updates
7. Test using a different hard drive to store your Media, I preusme you are editing from a different drive not drive c?

Then test and see what happens.

A 460 is a good card if you use the hack, a 470 wouldn’t really gain you anymore at this time. I’ve been using a Gigabyte mobo and 460 vidio card with no problems with HDV, HDV is fairly low bitrate and easy to decode native, are you using tape from the Z5/7??
