Quicktime Error -2048
I have been capturing with a KonaLH card on a G5 to DV. I’m using VirtualVTR. Occasionally, a clip will record and play back on a Mac… but not a PC. Most of the clips work, but a select few give me the 2048 error. Anyone had this problem? Better yet, any solutions? I can pull up the offending clips in FCP and edit with them, but not on the PC. Very frustrating. Thanks!

The PC probably does not have the codec needed to play back the files.

It’s just Quicktime DV, and it plays files recorded in the same way. It’s just about 1/10th of them give this error while one that was captured on either side of it work fine.

Why are you using Virtual VTR?
-
Basically, I’m recording our newscasts to DV for our department to make Proof-of-Performance spots. The short of it is every time our master-control-op puts our control room on the on the air, it triggers the VirtualVTR to start recording. FCP is overkill for that purpose, even if it could work. VirtualVTR is the right app for this.

Cool, that makes sense. i was just curious. I have no experience with VVTR. Have you tried to contact them about it? Does it have anything to do with the file name or structure on the pc side?

I’m actually working with them on another issue where one of the two systems we have periodically records at around 20fps. I was thinking maybe someone saw this problem in another application and could at least give me an idea how they fixed it.

Have you tried using VTR Exchange? I am not sure if it has the automation that you need it to though. It’s a F_R_E_E capture utility for use with a Kona card, and you don’t need FCP.

Haven’t tried it though… it may be worth a look. I think the problem I’m going to run into with it is the RS-422 control.
-
…and lack of it you mean? I am not sure if it absolutely NEEDS rs-422 to capture, actually I’m pretty sure it doesn’t. It’s a pretty smart application and can even capture your RP188 tc if your source is HD. You should download it read the release notes and manual. They are both short.

The VTR exchange app from AJA will do this also and its free.
I love the “grab function” that is great for screen shots or frame grabs….gary adcock
