HD Capture/Playback Problems

[Tim Ward]

Okay, for those of you keeping count, it appears to be the Kona card. I can play the same video in the Finder using the Built-in audio, and all is fine.

Going to re-install Kona now. Ugh.

Re-installed Kona 3.0 drivers. Things are better, but not fixed. I think I’m gonna wipe and re-install. It’s overdue anyways. I’ll post back with results for closure.

Thanks all

Hey Tim,
Have things improved since your last post? I’m having an almost identical problem. I’ve spoken with AJA and they’re sending a new Kona 3 (should get it today). I’ve also got the 4210 and I’ll be working on diagnosing the drives as soon as my serial/usb cable comes in (should be today).

“Meanwhile, it turns out I haven’t been dropping video frames, it’s the audio that is screwy. It drops out continuously, like there’s bits missing or something, and it’s playback that does it”

Are you literally hearing the audio drop out? For me I can see the video drop about half a second before I get the RT Extreme dropped frames error, but I haven’t experienced any audio probs. I’ve also ran the playback meter and it only displays audio as well, don’t know what that’s all about.

Last question – did you determine whether your QuickTime version played a part in it? Did you end up reverting to a ver previous to 7.3?

Thanks for the posts, and hope to hear back.
