PPro crashes while opening with new drivers

[Rich Goodwin]

I’m having the same issue. What gives!

Hi Jo and Rich,

Can you give us a rundown on the system specs? We are just trying to see if there is a patten with certain machines to this as many users don’t have this problem. Nor can we reproduce it here.

Cheers,

Thanks Andy – looks like an “opeteron thing” i think, as it seems the other folks on the forum having this issue all use Opteron.

We will get straight onto this.

My specs are:

xp pro sp2
dx 9c
nvidia quadro 4400
tyan K8WE Thunder
2gig ram
decklink pro HD
dual opteron 250

We even tried reverting back to SP1 & 1A with no luck. What system were the drivers tested on? When do you think we’ll see a fix?

Hi,

Seems to be an AMD-issue not only Opteron…

my sys:

MSI K7D Master
Dual Athlon MP 2800+
Adaptec U160 / 3 striped Hitachi SCSI-HD

[Dolby1970]

Happens on my AMD64 3800 as well.

I also had the problem of the 5.0 drivers dropping frames in 24p mode when I used Sony Vegas 6.0. It was almost like the decklink SP card was not applying the pulldown. Once I switched back to BM 4.8.1, the problems went away.
