    When we try to digitze we get the following:
    BatchDigitize – clip1 TOO SHORT – master 672, digitized 616
    Batch Digitze Aborted. Media Discarded
    Error on clip
    Exception: DIG_VDM_OVERRUN

    So we thought it was deck or tape problems. Different deck, different tape same thing. Next we digitized to our G drives and no problems!! So we went back and cleared everthing off the F drives, formatted, error checked etc. and still no go on the F drives. Its not like we have 1800 to go out and spend on two new drives when these are only two years old.

    Chris, this indicates an error writing to the F: drive. Check all cables are well seated first but the following may identify the reason:

    Exception: DIG_VDM_OVERRUN.

    Good link but they are not fire wire drives not is it at 1:1. We have always compressed just under at 2:1 and have never had problems in the two years we have had them. Stranger still is that projects can be watched, graphics can be rendered and even stranger is that projects can be transfered back and forth with no problem.

    Do you have lazy writing enabled on this drive? It could still be a genuine drive fault.

    Rendering to the drive will be writing at lower than the full speed of playback and quite likely during drive to drive copying.

    If you are viewing only within the applications’ monitor, it’s lower than full bandwidth playback.

    So we replaced the drives which were under warrenty (thankfully!!!) and viola! Everything is working again!
