I just tried the folder rename thing back to the default BPAV. IT WORKED!!!! – It is now running PERFECT no dropouts, no crashes. WOW what a solution, seems so strange that this would fix it. This seriously makes me want to work with EX footage more now…so crisp!
I am running VISTA 64bit with 8GB of RAM. CS4.1 Before I tried this it was crashing every 10 minutes. Really bad, made me want to give up. Thanks for this solution. AWESOME now I can get on with what I am paid to do.
