er…I have XP and Service Pack 2, is that different to SVC 2?

I have this same error (ADM_DSOUND_MIXER_OPEN_ERROR) did you fix this?

[Alex Bond]

cool, thanks

Thanks Michael,

now does this fall under the ‘love the Avid’ bracket of glitches 😉

Is this bit of software ok to download do you think? Just got to be careful I don’t get any viruses on this machine (I’m sure you’ve already thought of that but I’m just checking!)

Thanks again

Alex

Thanks, I hadn’t thought of using AE, i’d still like to know if Avid can do it though…

[Alex Bond]

Cool, thanks

[Alex Bond]

ok thanks, I’d kind of started doing it like that, just wondered if there was a better way.

I’m coming from Media 100 which works in a true non linear way (ie straight forward cut and paste), to me it seems to be the most logical way of editing and I reckon the Avid designers will eventually cotton on to the fact that a lot of the systems methods are hangovers from linear editing.

By syncing I actually meant grouping, to give it another word, though your methods of syncing are good ones. With Media 100 the vision and audio remains linked until you unlink it and move the audio and vision clips independently – with Avid the whole thing is loose unless you sync the whole timeline – to quote family guy ‘that does not make sense’…of course that’s just my opinion!

Cheers

thanks for the info but i have tried all those things 🙁

The capture is crashing the machine – the FCP freezes and then the whole Mac goes down, that sounds like a different fault don’t you think?

The Compressor is DV-PAL, seems to be recording at 3.6MB/sec – does that sound right?
