The message you are getting is very general in its
nature and can be caused by the following:
-
Flyer is being too conservative in estimating
the playback requirements.
Turn off "Stop Sequence on timing Error",
and see if the project will play.
-
The video drive was not short-stroked, and a clip
or an A/V temp file has been recorded to an area
of the drive which is not capable of the required
data transfer rate to play that clip or temp file.
Solution: always short-stroke
the drive to match the most demanding mode you
intend to use. If you will only use Standard mode,
then test the drive and short-stroke for Standard
Mode. If you intend to use HQ5, or both Standard
and HQ5 modes, then you must test and short-stroke
for HQ5.
-
The harddrives may not be fast enough to play
back the clip.
Drives need to be thoroughly tested to determine
if they are Flyer-capable, and to see what level
of capability they would offer with the Flyer.
It is wise to purchase drives from a dealer who
is experienced in setting up Flyer systems, and
knows those makes and models which will work. If
you do not do so, then you may end up with drives
which do not offer the capability you need.
-
"Drive Not Fast Enough" error, but drive
was short-stroked, and had been performing fine.
Drive performance characteristics can change over
the life of the drive. Re-Test and reformat the
drive. A change of just a very few percent may
not indicate a problem. A large loss in capability
for your tested mode, as for example when a drive
which has previously been 90% HQ5 capable drops
to only 75%, may be a danger sign that the drive
is failing, or that power or cooling in the drive's
housing is failing. Check power and cooling issues
first. Then suspect drive failure, if these are
up to expected performance.
-
A corrupt clip may cause this error message.
Open the control panel and use the Inpoint and
Outpoint sliders to scrub through the clip. Look
for missing or faulty fields in the clip (if a
field has a band where the chroma is missing or
the image is replaced by noise, then the clip is
corrupt. You must re-record the clip if this is
the problem.
-
Check A/V Clips for the speaker on the crouton.
This denotes that the Flyer will activate audio
whether audio was physically present on the clip
when recorded or not. Just turn audio off on the
clip. Making the volume level zero will not turn
off audio on clips.
-
A scroll or crawl page is scheduled too close
to an effect. Give more time between the effect
and the scroll or crawl.
-
Bad SCSI cables. Replace them.
-
The AsimCDFS CD0: device driver is mounted. This
will sometimes interfere with Flyer playback, and
may need to be deactivated when the Flyer is in
use.
