I have a W2K Professional SP4, 1Gbyte RAM, AMD XP2500, several harddrives system. Drives are NFTS formated except for one which is FAT32(I have to reinstall too much sofwtare on this one) Premiere runs on a NFTS harddrive. Video files on seperate NFTS harddrives
I have edited a video from several captured avi files. One of the files is very large 7 Gbyte. Anyway till last week this didn't give me a problem or didn't caused a crash.
Since last weekend I installed a new videocard and audio card to view and hear my work on a seperate (dual view) monitor. The video played well since I installed the new hardware.
Yesterday I tried to re-edit my video and this caused a problem. When I tried to open the big avi file of 7 Gigs into the clip monitor to select from it into the timeline it caused a system reboot without any notice!? After the system reboot I tried to open the project. It didn't open. Instead Premiere gave the message: project file locked, corrupted. I tried over and over agian but it wont open again. I tried to start a new project and everytime I want to use the big file into the clip preview monitor the system reboots or freezes. Smaller size avi files dont give a problem.
What could be the problem? I also tried to defragment. But it wont help. In some forums it is said that hardware changes could cause the problems and that a have to reinstall premiere because it has to point again to the new hardware. Als quicktime could be a problem. The file size shouldnt give a problem because last week I could edit this big 7 GIGS avi file.
Is it just reinstalling premiere to let it point to the new hardware? Or is it something else?
