reassigning disc

[Miss2z Miss2z]

Actually, I figured out it’s going to the right disc. What’s happening is when I try to export, it says the disc is full, when it’s not. What does this message mean?

Thanks,

Is the disk formated to Fat32 ?

I’m not familiar with Fat32. How do you format it to that?

Thanks,

Miss,

Assuming that you are using windows XP… Right click on the drive and select properties. The 2 first things you should see on top are “type” and “File system”. If “File system” says NTFS” then skip everything I’m gonna say below, it’s not the issue…

If it says FAT32, that means it’s using the old format system, and that limits the size of any file saved to the drive to up to 2GB, hence the “disk full” error. Before you reformat, of course you have to save everything you have on that drive somewhere else, or it will all be lost.

You can reformat by simply right clicking on the dive and selecting format. Make sure “file system” is set to NTFS, click start, and go walk the dog for a while 😉

BTW, most external disks do ship as FAT32, for compatibility between different OSs. So it is likely the issue.

Thanks, Vincent. It’s not a FAT32. It’s formatted correctly. Thanks for telling me how to find that. Any other suggestions? I’m thinking that perhaps Premiere Pro has a limit as to how much it will export? I exported about 1/4 of my program, and it worked. However, when I played it back in Windows Media, the video was jittery.

Nahh, I’ve exported 400 GB videos in the past. It could also be a few other things. Does it always stop at the same place? Are you using firewire or USB2 to connect that drive ?

If using firewire, make sure that the drive is the only thing plugged in.

What do you mean by jittery? It is jumpy? Also, what format are you exporting to ?

Jittery could just mean that your computer isn’t keeping up with the vidio. Finally, is this just happening on this particular project ?

Vince,

Thanks for your help. What I mean by jittery in this particular case is that the video is moving up and down slightly. I also have some audio drop-out sounding problems, but that might be a problem with the deck I used to digitze. I’m going to go to another production house and play the top on a different deck to confirm or rule that out.

I’m using USB and it’s the only drive that’s plugged into my computer.

This is not the only project I’ve had problems with. This project is about an hour long. The other project was only a :30 spot.

I’m exporting to AVI file off of the Windows DV codec.

Hopefully tonight my computer guru friend will have some time to look at my computer. It seems to be running slowly and I don’t know the reason for it. Perhaps solving that problem will solve this one?

Thanks so much for your persistence in helping me. I’ve been on a deadline, so I’ve been slow to respond.

Hi,
I’ve begun having similar video jitter problems w/ Prem.Pro 2 this week. My hardware setup hasn’t changed, and no real software changes that I can think of, so I suspect it must be some rogue setting somewhere that I don’t know about… :/ I can play a project and export to a tape just fine, but if I export a plain old regular DV AVI file it gets a bad case of the jitters. Moved one to another system for verification, and it’s definitely the AVI file. It acts like a picture that needs some work, but it’s the whole video…

Thanks,
Alan
