…or the thing you should have checked first; a lesson I can’t seem to learn.

It’s not you! I’m working on a project with over 5,000 shots in the bins. Starting the project in PPro1.5, was a nightmare, and before 2.0 was released I was afraid I was going to have to break it up into any number of separate projects. But with PP2, I don’t believe that will be necessary. On the other hand, I’m only about 20 minutes into the timeline.
A couple of things. You definitely need more memory, at least 3gb, probably 4. And you need to enable the PAE (3gb) switch (see http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAEmem.mspx).
I’m currently running 3gb of memory and am about to add 1 more.
I was very disappointed that PPro2 was not a 64-bit app. Even though it did correct some of 1.5’s notoriously awful memory issues, there are still some, as you mentioned, that will give us long-form folks the blues. Good Luck.

I believe you may have chosen perhaps the worst LCD out there. I too purchased a Viewsonic LCD about a year ago and was amazed how awful it was, especially in terms of blacks, etc. I returned it and demanded by money back from the vendor and got it. In my view, CRTs are still the only way to go for pro-level color correction, etc.

You’re a good man Andrew. Your little fix worked.

I think BMD needs to step forward to resolve this issue or issue instructions on how to resolve it for those of us with PP2.0 where “Decklink Audio” does not appear in the Audio Hardware.
Audio is enabled on my MB (SM X5DA8), just as it was with 1.5., and I still have Quicktime 6.5.2 installed.
I installed PP2.0 to a freshly-formatted hdd, following a freshly installed OS (XP Pro, Sp2). I installed BMD 5.3 (which didn’t work and was promptly uninstalled). I installed 5.4 when it was released a few days later. Though it seems I recall some kind of message about audio when I first opened a 1.5 project, the project eventually opened and the audio played back just fine.

Hmmm. I’ll check it out. Sort of like having a terrible disease for which there are no symtoms.

Just those two.

That’s right. “Premiere Pro Windows Sound” is the only choice, whereas with 1.5, I think “Decklink Audio” did appear there. Having upgraded to 2.0 and installed 5.4 as you have, sync and audio levels in my case are OK, just as they were with 1.5.

Thank Juan. I thought that was probably the case.

Casey:
I was wrong. Just remembered something. If you open RAIDCore Management Console, pull down one of the menus (don’t have that computer turned on presently) and find the SMART check. With it you can see what’s going on with each drive in your array and where individual throughput speeds are displayed. That way you don’t need to hassle with iometer.
