Decklink HD Windows problems
I’m posting again in the hopes that maybe someone has had similar experiences and maybe a cure. Was using Decklink / Premiere / Combustion just fine until around version 6 of Decklink drivers and now no matter how many times I uninstall / reinstall various versions 5.8 through 6.1.1 I cannot play Blackmagic rendered avi s in anything but Premiere and strangely Quicktime. In Combustion I only have the option to render to 10 bit BMD files. No more 8 bit option. Those 10 bit files play fine in Premiere but I can’t read them back in to Combustion. AE and Windows Media player also can’t read them. Very strange. If anyone has any ideas please help.
I’m in the middle of a project so I can’t wipe the system and reinstall windows so please don’t suggest that.

Dean,
Although your problem seems to be somewhat different from mind, today I loaded one of my shows to dub to tape and I kept getting a “serious error” from Adobe PPro-2 coming out of black and back to video. Strange, this never happened with this same show a month ago when I dubbed it onto tape using an older driver set. The only thing I can conclude is there’s a bug (at least in my system) in respect to the new 6.1.1 drivers for Multibrdge. Again, Dean I know your problem is different from mine, still it involves the same driver set.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been having the problem since before 6.1.1. I think it started around 6.0 or even 5.9. It’s a real drag.

Hi Dean,
Can you rewind Windows back to a point where it was all working fine? This sounds like an installation problem with the drivers so rewinding would be the first step and avoids having to reinstall the system.

I’ll try it but I’m coming down to the wire on a job so it will have to wait a while. Maybe it’s conflicting with some other install. I remember I had some big problem a while back and it was due to some key that Stuffit set wrong. I got a Mac .sit file and loaded Stuffit and it was the heart of many problems last time. Probably something like that.

Hi Dean,
If StuffIt appears to be a source of problems, then I would suggest removing it, possibly by rewinding your system. Zip has been the standard on Macs ever since Mac OS X added built-in Zipping in the operating system. Prior to that, Mac users mostly used StuffIt archives. Even old Macs can open Zip files using StuffIt Expander or other utilities. That means you shouldn’t need to install StuffIt on your PC. Just stick with Zip files as you already have that facility on your PC.

I had to open a .sit file that someone sent. Otherwise I’d never use stuffit. I will try uninstalling it though. Thanks.
