Preview ModePosted by Michael Monteleone
Hi,
All praise to Michael Horton for starting this phorum!! I have a G4, dual 533, with 1.5 gigs of built-in memory and an AGP video card (NVDA, NVMac - GeForce2 MX) - I'm using DVDSP 1.5. I recently installed an internal Pioneer DWV-RW DVR-105 thinking that I would be able to utilize the preview function of SP 1.5 but it still won't do a preview. Every time I click on the Preview button I get an alert stating that "Previewing has failed. This may have occured because there is not enough memory or no compatible DVD-Video decoding hardware is available." Can anyone help with this situtation? Thanks, Michael Monteleone
Ok I recently had to do this on a 733 quicksilver. First off what OS are you running? I was in 10.2.6 and i istalled a pioneer a05. The G4 saw it no problem, but apple dvd player would not work nor would DVDSP preview. I researched and found an article on how to load the DVD components from the Jaguar instal disc and everything works perfect now. I have the info on the FCP forum i will try to find and post back.
I'm not sure what extensions need to be there - I looked in the control panel/externsions manager and only found 1 item that mentions DVD - that extension is titled: Apple CD/DVD Driver - the check box to the left is checked - under the package column it says "Mac OS 9.2.1"
thanks, Jason! michael
Michael,
Not sure if you got this solved... But, I'm assuming that you didn't have a DVD-ROM drive installed in your G4 originally. DVDSP's Preview function requires the Apple DVD player application to work correctly. And since you most likely didn't have a DVD-ROM drive, the DVD player software wasn't installed (or installed correctly). You will need to install the DVD player software from your OS discs, or possibly the OS update. I thnk you can even download it as well. I think there's an update on the DVDSP install disc as well. -erik
