DVX-E1 - problem with freeze

[Trax]

Hi all,

I have big problem with my DVX-E1. When I started Edius with selected output device as DVX-E1, SD PAL 50i then my computer was totally freeze. What I doing wrong? I have Edius 4.24 with latest DV driver from Canopus website, Windows XP SP2 with latest updates, DirectX 9c. My computer configuration is Intel E6600 Core2Quad @2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM, motherboard is Intel DG965WH. Please help me!!!

Will Edius work in OCHI mode?

Are there any hardware problems in your Device Manager?

Are you using original (shipped with your video card) or the latest video drivers? (after many problems, I went back to original)

Hi, Edius in OCHI mode working correct and fine. But if I using with start DVX-E1 as output then computer is totally freeze. I testing original drivers from install CD (not from Canopus website) and its same - computer freeze. I felt change PCO slot, I felt change PCI latency time... but nothing happend... In device manager I havent any problems, everything are installed correctly... :-(

Make sure you install the drivers that comes with the EDIUS installation.

The driver install normally should run in the EDIUS install, but maybe it was not checked or not recognized. Check the Tools folder of your EDIUS installation. If you have installed an EDIUS update, check the update package first, as that should contain the latest driver.

I did complete uninstall Edius 4 and then I install Edius 3.62 BETA. In Edius 3.62 BETA is everything fine and work perfect... Please help me because I need multicam feature from Edius 4... Thank you very much...

Install EDIUS v4. Makes sure the Canopus DV Driver checkbox is enabled on install, and go through the Canopus DV Driver install. That should install the DVX-E1 driver.

When you install a v4 upgrade, make sure you upgrade the DVX-E1 driver if it does not automatically get upgraded.

I installed Edius 4.24 with included driver (version 1.00d) - tested and... nothing happend. Then I roll back to oldest driver from Edius 3 installation (version 1.00b) and again nothing... :-( But driver 1.00b is work normal in Edius 3... strange... :-(

I think that the freeze problem maybe is settings in Canopus.ini. I changed from OverlayMethod=0 to OverlayMethod=1. If I started Edius in software mode and change Project settings to DVX mode then I see on TV screen freeze screen from timeline but Edius will crashed (PC is freeze).

This is my Canopus.ini maybe help...

Hi Trax

Do you have your firewire cable connected on your dvx when you start Edius?
If so disconnect and try again.
I had the same problem and edius was freezing when my vcr was connected
to the DVX and was not turned on.
You can use another firewire controler though.
Also check the read me in the canopus DVX-E1 driver for other
settings to the canopus ini.
Hope this helps
George

I unpluged the firewire cable but unfortunately this is not solved my problem... :-(
But thank you very much for this idea, George...

Computer freeze... :-( Sometimes copmputer crashed to blue screen and there I read problem with nvidia drivers. I useing forceware 158.22 and last directx 9c. But I have no idea what to do... :-( Please can anybody help me?

And I read in DVX Installation manual on Appendix, chapter 2 "For Users Using OHCI and EDIUS DVX" that DVX has problems with motherboards with Intel ICH4/ICH5/ICH6/ICH7. I hav motherboard Intel DG965WH with ICH8R/ICH9R SATA RAID Controller. Maybe this is core of problems? I dont know but I have not any idea what I do now... :-(

[Trax]

EUREKA !!! I SOLVED MY PROBLEM !!! :-D
It was very simple, I updated my gfx drivers - the newest Forceware 168.18 from Nvidia solved my freeze problem! ;-) Now my DVX working with Edius 4.24 perfect... Many greetings flying to users from this forum, thanks guys...

And now, I waiting for Edius 4.5 upgrade... ;-)
