Audio or Brain Error

I really enjoy your product but I haven’t had any luck in
rendering any MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 format using videos
captured from my Panasonic DV910/Firewire. The following
error stops production, “ An error occurred while creating
the media file Untitled.mpg. Unable to mix Audio. The
operation timed out." I do render video up to this point.

I understand the absence of a true MPEG-2 converter so I
purchase the LSX-MPEG Encoder. This system stops due to
frames missing even if there to frames missing during
capturing. Would this be a capturing program problem or
could it be the Firewire card itself.

My system is a Pentium III 933, 512 Megs of 133, Maxtor 60
Gig ATA 100 w/card / Maxtor 40 GIG ATA 66, ATI Radeon 64MB
DDR VIVO, Sound Blaster Live w/ Optical Digital I/O card,
Pinnacle DV Firewire card, Windows 2000 PRO.

I just want to make family CD's either VCD or SVCD format.

Any suggestions

Have you downloaded the updated MPEG plugin yet? Download
and install (from this site) and see it it helps.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I downloaded every program you
had for Video Factory. I'm also having a problem with
missing frames. I tried both my ATI Radeon and fire wire
card that came with Pinnacle DV program. When I tried to
convert using Ligos, same problem. I read somewhere if you
zero out the PCI latency in Bios, this could possibly
solves numerous problems. Could this be true?

Could it be my fire wire card or DV camera? Is there a big
difference in fire wire cards? And if so, which card would
you recommend for a Panasonic DV910?

I really have to solve this dilemma.

The ideal diagnostic scenario would be a 100% clean install
of Win 2k, plus Videofactory, SF Video capture, and our
MPEG plug-in. DO NOT install any of the Pinnacle software-
the Pinnacle studio DV card is OHCI compliant and can use
the Windows OHCI driver and codec (this is what we
reccomend in every case). This will work.
