Error Mess(age) 25 at DVinfo.net

Elmer Lang · June 13th, 2004, 02:39 PM

When I open a sequence in FCP 3.0 on my G4/400 PB (OS9.2), it crashes citing Error Type 25. What is Error 25 and is there anyplace that lists the error codes and their raison?

Oddly enough when I open an identical sequence from another project that contains only that sequence and then open the sequence I want to open, it opens.

Thanks for any info,
elmer

I haven't used OS 9 in 3 years, but to the best of my memory, Error 25 is an out of memory error. How much memory on your computer and how much is allocated to FCP?

I have 768 mgs RAM and to FCP 3.0 I've have allocated 250000k minimum and 350000k preferred.

I heard 3.0.2 is more stable but at Apple Support I couldn't find the update. Know where I can get it?

Thanks for the response,

Yeah, old versions of software are hard to find on the site... a MAJOR pain in the butt. Using search on the site though I found: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/finalcutpro304update.html

Try setting minimum and preferred to 500000k and you should be good to go. The update should help also.

Thanks Mark & Jeff.

Unfortunately 3.04 is for OS X, and I'm using OS 9.2 and the update for that is 3.02, the one I couldn't find.

I will set minimum and preferred as suggested.

Thanks again,
Elmer

I found 3.0.2 here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=122009

You need 9.2.2 to run it... Always try going to the support section and using search. The basic search for the site didn't find it. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the help. I found it.

I bet errror mess(age) 25 is referenced when the video card is overwhelmed. The project I can't open on my TiPB with 768 mg RAM will open on my G4/400 Desktop with half the RAM. When I closed the sequence on the Desktop, saved the project and reopened on the TiPB it opened. I believe the Desktop's video card is 2x the TiPB's.

For this and a few other reasons over the years, I found having 2 computers a blessing worth every penny of purchase.

que sera,
