External HDD disconnecting in export.

DP2012 — Sun, 08 Mar 2015 15:43:24 +0000

Ugh, I've been having so many problems lately.

basically I'm exporting a video in prem pro. The media is all on an external drive connected via USB.

throughout the export the "auto play" message kept popping up as if it had disconnected and connected by itself, as well as many messages about how the drive needs to be formatted (it doesn't).

in the end, "error compiling movie / unknown error" caused the export the stop and fail.

any ideas?

I have a problem (Did have a problem )

My 64GB Kingston USB drive used to be recognised by my Humax box, now it doesn't

As posted in another message I decided to format the USB drive as NTFS to beat the 4GB limit of FAT32

Drive PC / Mac Issue

Hello,

I need an OMF put on an external hard drive. I sent a drive out however because my friend is using a MAC, he isn't able to write to the NFTS formatted drive.

It is the master audio mix for a project I'm working on.

Can the drive just be reformatted to allow a MAC to write to it?

Thanks

What duplicator controllers accept mixed burners?

martinholmstrom — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 10:53:17 +0000

Hi all, I'm new here, this is my first post. English is not my first language, please bear with me.

We have two cd/dvd duplicator towers at work. One is a Verity (IDE (ZZ 000 128) which happily accepts replacement burners of a different brand. The other, newer tower, Microboards QD-1210-03, won't accept anything other that ten identical burners, with the same firmware. Since identical replacement drives are almost impossible to find (a a decent price anyway), making it expensive.

windows 7 1394 Via controller

I have come acroos a lot of people struggling with their firewire driver. The firewireport works fine, but when I startup my computer, it will not start fully until I mess around with the firewire cable. I have to stick it in the port, and remove it again, only then will windows 7 ( 64) start up. I have tried to remove the drivers, and have them installed again. The automatic installation installed the VIA 1394 OHCI compiant host controller.

Recommendations for HDD recovery when trying to save video files!

tomtailford — Sat, 25 May 2013 09:56:18 +0000

I had a friend who recovered footage, and the resulting footage seemed as if it was corrupt (not able to import into premiere / or play)

Is this just a case of using a bad recovery company, or is it hard to recover video files - resulting in corrupt / useless files!

If people have had good / bad experiences please advise and also mention the company you used!

Thanks,

Tom

Mountain Lion upgrade Killed my External HD

try2 — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 14:46:21 +0000

iMac 2.8Ghz intel core duo. 10.8.2
Upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
Now Two Hitachi 1Tb hard drives will not mount. My WD 'MyBook' HD does however.
Error message: /Library/Filesystems/fusefs.fs/support/fusefs.kext failed
link error, check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8)
the MacFuse system is not available (71)

These drives will mount on my also upgraded macbook pro, so doesn't appear
to be a formatting issue.

XP Stuttering playback.

John Disdle — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 17:39:53 +0000

I have a duel boot Win764bit /XP Pro.32bit. XP has been used to edit using Prem. Pro 1.5 with no problems for several months.

I recently added another 4Gig of ram for Win7 and Premiere Elements, now total 8Gig.
Now Prem. Pro. On the XP partition, will not playback smoothly. I have three HDD`s two I use for editing. One of them was badly fragmented and XP took three hours before I cancelled it. Win7 did it in about 2o min.

Premiere Elements play back on Win7 is perfectly ok!
