Help with ULEAD and Premiere

[mtbtuned]

OK, I'm new to the forum, so this may have been covered but why is ulead 5 ve so unstable when used with the RRG and a g400max? It's almost impossible to edit any video without causing one of these:

VEDITOR caused an invalid page fault in
module RRICMEXT.DLL at 016f:09596e40.
and so on...

I've tried the drivers which came on the RR CD (5.15 and vidtools 1.5) as well as 5.4 and 5.3 drivers, and the 1.52 vidtool as well.
Getting a bit fed up with it all now since premiere won't even start up, crashing whislt it initiallises it's plugins causing:
PREMIERE caused an invalid page fault in
module CM-VFW.PRM at 016f:072b3947.

Help because I've shelled out the cash already for a new mobo and case to solve the problem of getting the damn thing to run (yes i tried everything)

Oh and I've got an asus
p3b-f
128mb ram
8.4 gb hd
SB pci128
and a 300a celeron doing 450

Well, my guess is that you are overclocking the CPU too much. Try running the CPU at orginal speed and see if it work then....

I have been having the same problem with RRICMEXT.DLL since last August. Am using a P2BS with 384mb RAM and a Pentium III 450 not overclocked. Desperate for help. Probelm occurs when scrolling through the timeline. No IRQ conflicts, Win98 second edition, all latest drivers. Have done many re-installs, nothing works.

Attached is the error I receive:

Nice to know I'm not the only one!! I've had the same problems since I installed my card, but curiously, when using premeire (which has settled down after a win98 re-install) when exporting video, it will usually work if export sound is turned off. Not always though. Also it occasionally ocassionally causes errors in preminfo.dll.

Now could someone tell me. Is this simply a driver/software problem. i.e. will it eventually be solved. I've shelled out the cash on the G400/RRG combo, a new mobo and case and if this is as good as it gets then I'm very dissapointed. I upgraded as much to get the video capability as the better graphics and could have spent less money on a similar set up. Lets hope matrox can get this resolved soon, it's becoming a bit of a joke.

PS it made no difference if the CPU was overclocked or not.

I think we once traced this to a problem with dropped frames, EVIL frames, and the like. Probably if you avoid editing near dropped frames, or minimize how many dropped frames you get, you'll get fewer crashes.

The problem we found is with the Matrox MJPEG software decoder (RRICMEXT.DLL) when it tries decoding certain frames to RGB, like when you're rendering your project.

[mtbtuned]

I'll give this a go and see what happens. There were a few dropped frames in the clips i was editing, so it might be the problem.
thanks

Almost always the source of the
errors described is an installation
gone awry.

When you get Windows all turned inside
out... it's almost always easiest to just
reinstall Windows from scratch on a clean,
newly formatted hard drive and then add
your PCI cards one-at-a-time with a boot
between each installation.

Check to make sure your bios settings are
right.

Then... install the NLE applications. Shouldn't be any problems thereafter.

Does anyone else have any suggestions. BIOS appears to be correct and I have tried many configurations. Windows has been re-installed many times with ONLY the necessary and minimum programs re-installed.Problem is always the same with lock up when scrolling through the time line.

[scheelings]

You're right. Bad frames cause the invalid page pault in the rricmext.dll.

Is there any software available where you can remove bad frames with? Or software where you can cut some frames easily from your movie?

[Cookie]

This certainly appears to be my problem as well with bad frames. I am capturing directly from a HI 8 camcorder with high quality cables but am still getting dropped frames. Running with minimum installed programs on PC. Have tried Edit ON and OFF on Camcorder. Any Ideas in the absence of a program which will strip bad frames.

[mtbtuned]

There may be some truth in the 'bad frames'. I've been playing around with the card for a week now and after re-capturing some video from a different source (cleaner and straight from camera) I've had practically no problems whatsoever. I used to have the 'crash while scrolling' problem but it's dissapeared. Take a good look at your source video, it worked for me

Hope this helps

Have you tried using the latest video tools ? I believe that the field inversion problem was one of the bugs fixed
