    Hi all
    A have a few files that were rendered with RGB 10bit compressor with BMD 4.8.1 drivers, after I install new 5.1.2 driver I cannot read those files normally, in windows Media Player I can see only lines and in Premiere 1.5 when i rich this 10bit RGB file, Premiere just crashes.:(

    Any idea what is going wrong?

    10x you in advance

    Mihail,
    I have had a multitude of issues with the new 5.1.2 Decklink drivers for windows because of the following.
    When one uninstalls the old Decklink drivers they do not completely uninstall from the windows system directory. AFter installation of the new drivers Windows will detect new hardware and offer to install drivers automatically. With this choice however windows somehow finds the previous old drivers and installs those……NOT GOOD. You must instead choose to look for drivers in a specific location and point windows to C:\Program Files\Decklink or where ever you installed the Decklink executable.

    Hope that this is helpful.

    Hi J

    Firstly uninstall all versions of the Decklink driver from Add/Remove Programs.

    Reboot system.

    The download and install the Decklink 5.1.2 driver.

    If you are still experiencing problems – please email your system configuration including hardware details to me at pcsupport@blackmagic-design.com

    Thanks
