I just got Avid media composer on my laptop. I have a dell studio so im running on vista 62 bit. this is the error that came up. Does anyone know what this means?

Exception:

AudioElementaryStreamParserRep::FinishAudioPESBuffer - nothing in the free queue
File:\devices?MPEGParser\src\AudioElemtaryStreamParser.cpp
Line: 1105



Thanks,
Derek

It could be your sound card - Avid products can be a bit fussy about sound and video cards. You might want to check their site to see if you have a compatable sound card.

If it is your soundcard the soundblaster cards work well with Avid, I had to get one myself as it just wouldn't run otherwise, it wouldn't even load up. They're quite cheap too.

What are you doing when this error pops up?

I was just trying to import footage because i captured it from hdvsplit so its on my computer and i just needed to put it in Avid. But now i can import it but when i try and watch the footage i cant see anything and i only hear the audio.

What video card standard is being used on your laptop?

Is it Nvidia, ATI, on Intel Accelerated?

Derek,

Can you see a still frame of the video, or is it always black even when not playing and parked on a frame?

Also what type of footage and what type of project?

Yea i just see still frame when it plays but when i stop it jumps to that frame and does the same thing. I am using a XHA1 camera HDV and filming on mini DV tapes.

Like David asked, what video card does your laptop have? Also, are you filiming 60i or 24F?
