Problems with HVX200E streaming 720p

I am having the exact issue (only with the NTSC version & frame rates). My camera records 1080 like butter with Broadcast v4.01, but no matter what I try I get the "destination drive is too slow" message you have described above when attempting any of the various combination settings I have tried at 720.

My PC is a brand new Dell Precision Workstation, two duel core 3.0 Xeon processors, 4 gigs of Ram, dedicated 10k internal drive. I also have a new striped MEDEA RT4 attached via SCSI . . . so speed is not the issue.

Hello dregenthal
Did you try it with v4.1? My Canopus dealer in Switzerland just told me that he could record 720/50p without any problems. He was using a high end workstation with SATA-Raid 5 (4 x 500GB). He was even successful doing it with a smaller system.
The firewire card on my desktop seems to be defect but with my laptop the situation is unchanged. Even with an external USB HD (500GB) it records 1080 like butter (as you said).
 
JJB,
am i missing here something?
thought you got the v4.1 and it doesnt work?
So where should be the difference at your dealers pc?
 
hvx_germanboy,
I'm still not able to record 720p.
The Canopus dealer is using a brand-new high-end workstation with Raid5. But in this case drengenthal should be successful too. What I cannot understand is that 1080 records like butter as it is 100Mb/s for both modes.
 
hmmm...thats strange...i dont wanna doubt the experience of your dealer, but its very strange that it doesnt work for you!?

I dount that this is a performance problem(look at 1080, same stream, regarding the ammount), i will definitly try it when i got my machine running, why dont you ask the dealer to show you the streaming..??
 
720 50p direct capture

720 50p direct capture

Hi
I am having the same problem with my dual core AMD 4200 table PC.

Just tested ACER 4280 dual core laptop with 5400 r/min HDD which worked ok expept on 720 50 p "drive too slow". 1080 50 i goes ok though.
I also thought that 5400 is too slow but now I don't know. Table PC shouldn't have this problem but still it's also giving these messages "too slow hdd".

A bug after all?

I just want to revive this. Sorry, I never got around to seeing whether or not it would work for me, but I never got around to buying a 4x4 firewire :)

Anyways, I am experiencing the same thing. It would appear to me that this must be a bug, or a setting that, by default, is causing this and needs to be altered before 720 capture.

I can edit 4-5 streams of 720p in realtime with transitions, cc, etc.

I can capture 1080/24pa (or any 1080), as was reported. Smooth like a lake at sunrise. Just painless and perfect.

I try to capture any firewire capable 720 modes and EDIUS chokes on it. It just can't do it. Grinds down the buffer immediately, and stops capture (if that option is checked).

No news yet. I've just added this bug at buglistcentral.com.
I can't believe that my Canopus dealer could capture 720p - I'll have to see it with my own eyes.
 
720 50P streaming

720 50P streaming

Yesterday I was at our Finnish dealer, and saw myself that 720 50 P direct capture works ok! No special setup, about one year old 2 core machine, HDD was 7200 r/min....

Conclusion was to try defragment & make som emore room first on HDD. We'll see
 
My computer is brand new. My drives have lots of room, and are plenty fast for 1080 capture, and realtime editing of 1080 or 720 in multiple streams. There has got to be some other issue going on. If it is working for some people, it seems to be the minority. A very small minority.

As was mentioned in another thread, Canopus Germany(?) is calling it a bug.

I know myself, Thoff, and Dregenthal, can confirm that 720 capture has not worked for us in "NTSC" land. jjb is reporting it will not work for him in "PAL" land.

Later,
Jason
 
Yeah, it sounds like a bug, definitely not a lack of hardware or drive fragmentation issue. Capture in 1080 works, 720 does not (using V4.10).

I'm running on a P4D 840EE (two HT-enabled cores / four logical processors total) with 2GB of RAM, capturing to a 10,000 RPM SATA II Raptor. 1080 is smooth as butter, 720 never even gets past the "Preparing to capture" (or whatever the exact wording is) message.
 
There are updates in the works, but I don't have dates yet (maybe it's because I'm married?)
 
By the way...Brandon,
is the change of the P2 select in Version 4.1 known as a bug?
As i recall it was possible to select clips, import them, and stay in the P2 select window after that.

Now it closes everytime you select one clip to import...thats annoying and time consuming(at least if you have to select a couple of hundred "cards" like i do...is there any hope for the update..?

Thanks Brandon!
 
The engineers do read BuglistCentral and WishlistCentral, so as long as it's listed there, there is hope.

I've just tested the new version 4.13 - situation still unchanged.
 
Don't work

Don't work

Just formatted and reinstalled EDIUS 4 Broadcast to my AMD 4200 Dual 2 GB RAM, Geforce 7600 GS 256 RAM and Raid 0, 2 x 250 mb. Uppgraded EDIUS 4.13, run all windows uppgrades plus a 1394 connection uppgrade from microsoft in case of possible bug (slows down firewire). Uuh nothongs helps.

It can capture p2 1080 50i but never 720 50P. I am in PAL land. So far this is a total deadend. Importer can't help. The inly thing I know I have seen it working in their Intel based PC. That all. Very subrised that nobody close EDIUS isn't responding here......
