Wrote on the subject of Octane Personal Video video recording problems at July 20, 2010, 5:17 a.m...
Hello,

I need you kind help on a issue I have with a personal video option card I just received and installed on my Octane (2x250MHz, 768MB, MXE).

I am trying to record live video with Media Recorder via the Composite analogue input.
I see the live video on the media recorder window and the whole process happens without any error.
But when I try to play the video files I have files with correct duration but play only black!!

I have tried with various setings, from full frame to half-resolution and compressed/uncompressed.

Does anyone have seen this problem before?
could it be a hardware problem or a software installation problem?

Looking forard to your help

Fockion

Wrote on the subject of IFF: Recovering old frames from newly created framestore? at Jan. 28, 2011, 5:58 a.m...
Hi Pawel,

I'll describe what I have done and then you can judge if it applies to your occasion.

I had Flame 9.0 installation and at some point I decided to do a new Irix + flame installation actually it was Flame 9.5.
Then I used sw_config to create the framestore with the same disk layout. Off course when running initially flame I had no frames, but using the restore missed frames from Import Clips it recovered most of my frames.

I hope this will help.

Best,

Fockion
