  • Render to .avi DV errors out

    Posted by Mike Gondek on August 17, 2006 at 9:42 am

    I try to render using the standard 48hz .avi DV preset on a PC and get this error. image size or format not supported by compressor or maybe there is a hardware or memeory problem 53 :: 30.

    I also do not get audio playback on placed .avi, but on .mp3 ok when using ram preview.

    Renders fine as lossless.

    Make sure your composition is 720 x 480 pixels. The DV encoder will not work with anything else. I do this by mistake all the time (I’m used to working with the Matrox Codec for Discreet Edit, which is 720 x 486) and get the dreaded “sheep” sound that errors in AE on my machine trigger. It’s a great wakeup call, but I usually make the mistake when I’m in a rush and don’t have the time to go back in and change my comp, which, of course, I have to do to get it to work.
