I might be able to help with a P6000 board if you are looking for one.

I started the original thread on this problem and it continues for me. In my case it involved a small percentage of DV clips. Audio on the right channel would not play out thru firewire unless I added a graphic above it. Media 100 never had a solution or suggestion. I now have to monitor all my completed programs carefully out thru firewire to detect the problem before I make any dubs.

I started the original thread on this problem and it still persist. In my case all the clips were DV and a small percentage of them had the problem…..they would not play the right audio channel out to firewire. Media 100 never responded with any solution or suggestion. Adding a graphic over the troublesome clip was the only solution I know that works. Changing decks had no effect. I now have to monitor my completed programs out of a firewire deck carefully before making any dubs.

Swapping V tracks has no effect……but, delete the V track and the audio play normal.
Creating a title does work, but only if you create some text…deleting the text also allows it to work. So far this appears to be my only work around.

Its really strange…two consecutive shots from the same camera behave differently with regard to firewire output.

Thanks for your input.

If memory serves me correct, hard drives can suffer from a long term effect called stickion (not sure on the spelling). When inactive for a long period, the motor can refuse to start up. Sometimes a little bump can get it started, sometimes not. It is suggested that you power up a drive once or twice a year to help prevent this. Whether this is a problem with current made drives, I’m not sure.

I talked with M100 yesterday and they indicated no known isssues with Graffiti. Since I am on a two week trial, I am not a good canidate for a beta. Not being able to access the Graffiti settings is a deal breaker, so I will have to wait fora solution before considering a purchase of Producer.
Thanks for the comments…….if I do get a solution I will post it.

Once the thumbnails load in the Graffiti settings window, the cursor starts doing a little dance when selecting one for preview. This is when I often get the crash. I have made two bug reports. Just wonder if having Producer and Graffiti settings open demands more than two gigs of ram.
