WTF is wrong with pinnacle studio 8?
 

Im trying to work a avi file...sure it´s pretty big (460 meg) in size..ones I have cut and made the movie like I want it to I am to render it...but whatever option I chose to render it in the program just close on me...

Whats happening?

IT´s only with this big avi files...not smaller ones?

Are they to big for the program to work with?

How can I cut avi files smaller?

What are the system requirements of Pinnacle? Does your PC match them? Might be the problem....

Well I can work other movie files...just not this big.

Yeah my PC match em more then enough...

But I figure I might need to cut up the file before I work it maby...because maby it´s because lack of memory the pinnacle close itselfe...

The pinnacle studio line of software tools I have tried produced the same results.

I run a system that greatly exceeds their suggested minimum requirements.

I currently use two programs I would highly reccomend.

Wendy was it because of the size of the avi files?

did you download the patch?

What about space on the media disk? Is the disk fragmented? ITs very sensetive to lack of space and fragmentation en it render/encodes

Might be it...
But then we are back to the size of the files beeing to big...

So how do I cut a avi file? Is there any free programs?

works fine for me.

maybe it's those 2 pentium 4s i got :Graucho

well - if the files are LARGE, it might need to break it up 5-50 times while encoding, and if that is the case it's almost sure that you will get a error (and thereby stop) while encoding.
Do you have any dedicated movie hardvare/boardsets? or do you just run it on the CPU?

- that is why I always ONLY have the current job on my mediadisk. Everything else gets moved to the SAN storagesolution
