@ bilgami

Oh man, that sucks. I have the Avid Xpress Pro HD 5.0 installlation files on a CD-R. I could mail you a copy. It don't think it would be a problem since you're a licensed user. And even if you weren't a licensed user, you wouldn't be able to activate the software without a license.

Send me a private message with your snail mail address and I can get it out to you in the mail asap.

Re: Avid Xpress Pro HD

You didn't want to just download SP2? Still using dial-up or something?

Anyway, have fun with it! :)

Re: Avid Xpress Pro HD

does your hd seem a bit slower than the 4.6. when i open tools such as capture and audio etc. it tends to delay before anything happens and my 4.6 did not do that. do you guys have that problem.
 
Re: Avid Xpress Pro HD

HD seems to be much more resource intensive than 4.6 was. If you have an Avid qualified system on the higher spec end of the spectrum, then HD seems to run very well. If you have an unapproved system, then HD seems to have some issue.

I for one have dropped back to 4.6 for the time being. Anytime I would send video out through Firewire it would stutter and be completely unusable. I'll keep using 4.6 until I've worked an Avid Approved system into the budget, then I'll go back to HD.

I know it's not a concrete answer, but it might help you troubleshoot the problem. You can also check the system requirements for Xpress Pro HD on Avid's website as they have changed since Xpress Pro.

Hope that helps.

Re: Avid Xpress Pro HD

what do you mean by avid qualified do you mean memory ram gigs and processor. cuz when i put my computer together for the 4.6 i put more into it than what the specs called for.
 
Re: Avid Xpress Pro HD

If you go to Avid's website and look at the System Requirements for Xpress Pro HD, Avid lists a handful of specific make and models of PCs (Dell 670 for example) that are Avid Qualified. That is what I was referring to.

I'm a little confused by your question. If you have Mojo, then that is used as your output device. I.E. Hook your client monitor into Mojo and you have real-time output.

If you mean software only, then yes, it still has DV out, but it also outputs real-time effects based on what your processor can handle (it's really cool if you system is up to it). There is, however, no more blue dot or green dot. Instead it's handled through the Video Display settings. There are two check boxes: one for sending the video out through firewire, and the other for turning on real-time effects. It's really a different way of thinking than blue dot / green dot. This of it more as an on / off switch. You either set Xpress Pro HD to output video via DV, or you don't.

Hope that helps!

In your Project window, under the settings tab, the very last option should be Display Settings. The first two check boxes in the Display Settings control DV output.

Do you have a DV device pluged into the Firewire port prior to launching Xpress Pro HD? I saw those buttons grayed out once and it was because I plugged in my DV camera, but didn't turn it on. Since you're trying to output to a DVD Recorder this suggestion might not be valid. I've never gone straight out to a DVD recorder, but I've read about the setup. Maybe changing the deck configuration to BasicDVGeneric Device (or whatever Avid calls it)?

If your DV device is on then perhaps rebooting the computer will help.

Also, deck configuration and user settings from 4.6 are not compatible with Pro HD, so if you upgraded but are still using your old deck config and user settings that can cause some strange problems. In that case delete the user settings and deck config and recreat them in Pro HD.

Hopefully one of those suggestions will solve it.

I'm sorry. I'm out of suggestions. You might try the user forums at www.avid.com. Maybe someone over there has a suggestion.

Good luck. Sorry I couldn't help more.
