DIG_VDM_OVERRUN on avid 4.3.1

[Paddy2]

I am new to the forum.
I am having a big problem capturing anything.

I am trying to capture from a canon XL2 and I keep getting the error message DIG_VDM_OVERRUN, this very frustrating I have tried all I know but I am new to this. Can you please help?

This is my system:
I am running Service pac1
With AVID 4.3.1

AMD Athlon 2800 CPU GA 7N400 Pro11 3.5" FDD 1 GIG DDR Ram

120 GB HDD 256mb FX5700 video card

I am saving on the C drive

Thank you Plaese Help!!!!

Here are a couple of things to try:

1. Upgrade to at least Xpress Pro 4.6.1 (free upgrade). Versions prior to that has some quirks.

2. You're running on AMD which is not Avid recommended. Xpress Pro is Intel only. Now that may not be the source of your problem. AMD systems can work, just in my experience they have several more issues that Intel.

3. You're saving to C: which is an extra task on the system. Now your computer has to load the OS, the files to run Avid, and your media from the same drive. General practice is to have a seperate hard drive for media and capture to that.

Hope that helps.
