Thanks Mike. I already suspected the video output on the card. Any particular reason why one would choose one brand over the other, Canopus versus ADS? (Personally, I’m only familiar with the Canopus brand.)

Just about anything online requires a paid service, but here are some I tend to look at from time to time:

To answer your question, lilschass, I didn’t “do” anything out of the ordinary with my system to keep it cool. It’s running with a stock Intel fan and heat sink inside of a standard mid-tower case. Things that do make a difference though are that I keep the inside of the case as cool as possible: the case itself has 2 fans built-in, one at the top and one on the side, both of which are blowing hot air out, allowing it to draw cool air in from somewhere else (front and back grills.) I also keep a “clean” case in the sense that all my wiring and data cables are neatly tucked away or routed to the side or bottom in some fashion or another. Sata cables aren’t big like their ATA counterpart, so that helps in de-cluttering.
My suggestion to you is to start with that CPU fan. Replace it. It might seem to be spinning fine, but unless you can confirm a sustained rpm of 3- to 4,500 when the machine is crunching, I wouldn’t trust that it’s doing its job. You might also look into getting better thermal dissipation, possibly a different heat sink. Make sure the thermal goo between the CPU and heat sink actually makes contact with both of them.
A good dusting of the inside doesn’t hurt either. If you have access to an air compressor, go to town with it. Otherwise, spend a few bucks on some cans of compressed air and blow the dust off of everything inside the case. Make sure you check the case vents as well. Is your power supply also running hot? Blow it out! You’d be surprised how many dust bunnies will come crawling out.
By all means, you have got to lower that CPU core temperature, that’s why it’s shutting down on you, to prevent a physical melt down. Good luck!

I have a dual core2 and each core runs at about 51 to 52 degrees C. To me, 77 is a bit high.

Brian, try going to this page https://asvideoproductions.com/doogs/downloads.htm and click on tutorial #12 under Basic, and then #13 under Intermediate.

Taking the cover off doesn’t necessarily keep things cool. Is the CPU fan working properly? Is the heat sink dusty? Is the entire case itself clean and has good airflow?

Thanks John. Getting the Codecs from Techsmith did the trick.

Thanks David. For some reason I can’t view the AVI’s in Windows Media Player 11. I get the audio, but no picture. Looks like I may have to view them in something else. I’ll let you know how it goes once I figure out how to create the buttons/menu based on your tutorials.

Sounds like something I ran into a month or so ago. Make sure ALL of your overrides have been removed. I had a stray one that caused the DVD to stop after looping once or twice. And upon hitting play again, it would instantly start playing track 1. It’s an override issue.

Hi Vince,
I have AE demo which also has the Cycore plugins as a demo, so I can’t really use them. However, I can still create the curtain in AE and color it in PPro, so that’s not that big a deal. I have to create a clip that’s roughly 4 minutes long anyway, so since the AE demo only gives me 5 seconds, I’ll be stitching a bunch of those together in PPro.
I will try your project files and see what I can achieve with that. The one thing I see different is that I don’t have a highlight on the edges like I did in Photoshop. Not sure if I can get that in AE as well. Otherwise, I’ll have to think of something else (such as manually editing all the images in Photoshop first then placing then in PPro. Ugh)
Anyway, thanks for the reply.
