Hi all,
i was just thinking out loud...i seem to be getting these "write delayed failed" errors" especially when capturing from minidv...at first i thought it may be that the tape (at certain places seems to trigger these off..would it?) but have noticed something else.
When capturing, the tapes are mainly full of photos (stills) and some video. Unlike my previous projects where the library on right would real-time add thumbnails...these just seems to capture until a point occurs..end of tape or something alse..whereupon just one whole thumbnail would display or a bunch would instantly fill up the column on right.
Could the write delay be associated with a cache or buffer reaching maximum holding point then triggering of the "error"- don't know if that was explained right...while capturing, if nothing is being placed in the right hand column (library) where is it holding this data?
How can i set UVS8 to dump every scene as a thumbnail in real time?
does all this make sense!!
pent 4 1.8Ghz 512Mb ram
winXPpro,
using firewire for ext hdd capture and editing.
due to the low ram i capture everything in avi uncompressed
audio=dv pal
cheers

Not sure I can help, but can you first answer a threshold question, which may be part of the problem. Are you really capturing uncompressed AVI? If so, how do you get Video Studio to do that? In all my versions of VS ( 7, 8 and 9), if my capture source is mini DV, then even when I choose (uncompressed) AVI, it automatically reverts to DV. And of course, DV/AVI is a compressed format, though capturing in it does not place any stress on the computer AND should be easy to do with the 512 MB of RAM that you have. DV/AVI also matches the quality of the original video on your camera, so it seems to me that unless you are a professional, there is really no need to capture uncompressed AVI.
What I am thinking is that VS is set up to deal with DV/AVI captures, and thus capturing in uncompressed AVI will not only very quickly use up your hard disk space, but may also disable Video Studio's functions with DV, including for example the 'split by scene' function during capture. This could also explain why you are no longer getting multiple icons in your library pane.
