video wont capture in dv25, but will in 15:1??

What is the audio sample rate of your project?
What is the audio sample rate of your footage?

If it was shot on a VX1000, chances are it’s 3200k.

Those JVC decks are nice, but a little flighty.

It was actually shot on a small sony dv…my family asked me to edit out a few things and put it on dvd. I changed the audio sample rate of the project to 32k, which allows it to capture (before i was getting an audio error) but it still will only capture fora few minutes with dv25 before giving me the “video overrun” error. It starts to capture, than the audio levels (the meter, not the actual levels on the tape) freeze up, the hard drives sound like they are spinning up, and then the video overrun. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are you capturing to the internal system drive or dedicated storage? If dedicated, what kind of drive and how is it hooked up? And is there plenty of space available?

I have over 300 gigs available on a sata drive. My avid software is on the C: and my video goes to D: all my project files and settings are saved to E: which is also Sata. My workstation has dual 3.6, 2 gigs ram, and 7200 rpm sata drives. This system should be able to handle HD, but can’t even handle DV25?? doesn’t make any sense to me.

Hmmm. Usually when I see overrun or underrun errors it’s due to an underperforming storage setup. But obviously your hardware should be up to snuff, so let’s look at the software. What flavor of Avid are you running, and what version? Also, what version of quicktime and are you having any difficulty at all playing quicktimes at the Explorer level? It may also be helpful to peruse the Avid forums to see if this is a common problem with whatever software combination you’ve put together.
