sounds like the video card drivers aren’t right. might not need to be the most recent to work properly either.

make sure your fx5200 drivers are 71.89 – my old pc is using cs4, but it is a slower beast.

IS this a trial version of the software?
I don’t think they allow you to burn as to make money from a free product.

G’day Shane,
You’ve kinda shot your self in the leg, but we have hospitals…
So – you would have been way better off if you’d captured in HDV (which you have) and cut in a DV project.
This way you have extra resolution to “Zoom in on” before losing quality.
Open a new DV project, then import the HDV project into the DV one. (this won’t affect the original HDV edit.)
Now what’s happened it the footage may be zoomed in on all your clips if they are not “scale to frame” by default in your original HDV project. That’s cool.
Find the shots you have that are “Zoomed in” and select them, go to File Label COlour… pick one. It might be in Edit… can’t rememver and in hurry to go. If you look in this colour label option there is a bit to select that colour. this helps later to select just these bits and not the rest of the eidt.
Once you’ve coloured these “Zoomed clips” do a Select All. Then right click on one of the clips in the timeline to see the “Scale to Frame” Option. Ticking this will make all clips in the selection take on this funtion. All clips should fit frame properly now.
Go back to the COlour label thing in either File or Edit and select the colour group. This selects the “Zoomed clips” you colour labelled. These one’s need special attention to get the scale right… Make sure these one’s have the “Scale to Frame” switched off. Then get the first one and work out the zoom level you need. It might be smaller than the 100%! once you have one sorted out and there are others that require the same zooming (other’s that had the exact same scale settings) and apply that number to them.
Now you will need to render the whole project again. But you’re in the best position to get decent DV output with out losing as much quality.
Because of the field dominance being the other way do a test of about 30secs with motion to see the issue.
Have fun!
– JOn 🙂

To put it bluntly. Yes you are wrong.
Photoshop is the only native 64-bit app in the suite.
AE and PPr are 32-bit with 64-bit optimization so each app can access upto 4g of ram each. That’s only in a 64-bit OS with something like 16G ram. 32-bit OS won’t see more than 3Gig ram so 64-optimized is the go. Until the likes of CS5.

XP-64 is not a CS4 (or CS3 for that matter) supported OS. Please read all the information about the system specs before purchasing let alone installing software. If you don’t meet all the specs then you only have yourself to blame for an unstable system. Adobe work very hard to get their products (and they have more products than any other single multi-media company) they different configurations of PC’s (Mac’s are very tightly restricted with their hardware) that it’s going to cause issues they haven’t seen through beta tests.
THE ONLY 64-bit OS on PC CS4 SUPPORTS IS VISTA 64 (NOT XP-64).

What about using an external harddrive? or getting the network happening with the PC and Mac and having a shared drive from the PC? You can encode it and then send it to the PC and use the encoded file from Compressor in Encore. No copying pasting, copying pasting or wasting DVD materials. It’s not that hard to get a PC shared drive to work with a Mac. It’s a pain going the other way – but it can be done.

PS: I have this setup and it works perfectly for just such an occasion.Jon Barrie

Seems to work fine on my 4.0.1 updated version. Are you running the updated 4.0.1?

That would and does work with 4 multicam angles. I do it with an External USB 2 5200 SATA drive.

I have managed to export the EDL without a hitch.
https://www.jonbarrie.net/client/Asia-HDV-capture-EDL.edlDidn’t see 10 clips… it didn’t seem like a large project.
Let us know if it worked.
