Hi there,

I was hoping you could help me. I’ve recently kitted myself out with a sony pd150, and have Avid Xpress HD Pro on my laptop. Tonight was the first time I tried capturing, and typically there was a problem. I’m using a firewire, and the system sees, and plays the tape. But when I went to capture is flashed up this error: Exception: DIOProducer – digital I/O malfunction, DIOError:PMDIOFormat::SetAutoFormat – invalid sample size – client value 16: acceptable value: 12. It sounds like its telling me what’s wrong, but unfortunately I don’t know enough about the system to understand!! At the moment the res is set to DV 25 420 OMF. Any help you can offer would be great. I set up everything when I was in Ireland, now I’m in South Africa without tech support!!

Thanks,

Laura

Hi Jordan, thanks for your speedy reply. The options available to me are DV 25 411, DV 25 420, DV 50 and the odd one out DV15:1s?? No DV 30 I’m afraid.

The camera was bought in Ireland and the software was set up there too so that probably explains the PD 25 – not sure why they’re not talking to one an another though!

Will do Jordan, thanks for the advice!!
