It appears after being rendered out. I’m actually not sure if it’s visible during RAM preview or not. Maybe there is something I’m missing in interpretation or comp settings. Could it be a Pulldown problem? The beta footage originated on film and I used SSWWW. Perhaps this is the issue?

hmm, I am mixing the two because the footage I’m compositing in is HDV. Could this be screwing up the beta footage? That might explain why creating a new comp works fine. What can I do about this? Anything? I re-interpreted all of the clips LFF a while back and had no interlacing problems, but, if I do that I get a weird strobey effect on some of the clips. This whole thing is kind of a mess because I had no choice but to originate the media on mac and I’m doing all this on a PC.

well, initially they were interpreted as upper. But the footage looked terrible. The edges were very blocky. Is that unusual?

I have mac drive 6. It came with one of my hard drives. Doesn’t work though. Any thoughts as to why?

is that possible? How do you do that? I know how to set up windows sharing and access macs through a run command with the IP displayed. How do you do it the other way around?
-
that’s a great idea. But sadly I do not have a mac with enough space on the system drive to hold the file while I access it. Is there some way to make external drives visible through windows sharing? I can only access the system drive, not the external drives.
Thanks,

It’s FIXED! As this was a very frustrating experience for me I wanted to make the subject line easily “searchable” for others. Most threads blame this problem on NVidia’s Forceware driver. But many people on the forums complain they cannot find one that works. Because these particular threads often end before the solution is reached I will mention mine. It was absolutely an incompatibility with my motherboard’s GeForce 6100 video chip. I don’t know if the problem was that the chip was too new and the forceware versions required for it were not compatible with AVID or if the chip itself is not compatible with AVID. Either way, I fixed it by installing a $200 GeForce 6600 OC video card which I chose because it was cheap yet powerful. With this card the proper drivers could be installed. Good luck!

Yeah, I’ve been all over their forums and these forums. Their support won’t help because it’s not an “AVID Certified Machine”. I’ve certainly checked the window overlap. That usually makes it just not play at all for me, not just hold one frame. I’ll buy a new video card, see if that fixes it. Thanks for trying.

Thanks for the reply. I doubt it has anything to do with the processors. I’ve run AVID on athlons before without a glitch. Plus, the program is fully functional. It can import, export, render effects, even play, it just doesn’t display the moving video. I’m totally convinced this is a software problem and I’ve seen that tons of other people on creative cow are having it. The frustrating thing is that the forum threads keep ending before a solution is reached. Everyone seems to feel that the problem is the NVIDIA driver. The problem there is that my machine won’t operate on older NVIDIA drivers cuz it’s brand new. I’m getting desperate for a solution. Can anyone help with this?

I’m not familiar with that format, although I assume there are plenty of programs that can convert them. Did your AVID come with Sorenson Squeeze? My only real suggestion is to start installing DVD and Video conversion program trials until you find the best one for your purposes. I was on the market for a good Ipod ripping program and after 4 or 5 tries I found an awesome one. The programs are small and easy to download, install, and completely remove. They’re also cheap. I no longer use a DVD to High Quality Video ripper because I personally have no use for it, but I’m sure there are great ones.
