Following my posts on the problems with Canopus boxes and Pro Tools 8.0.3 here, here and here as well as the jerky video problems I have posted on and the video compendium I posted about here and here, there has been another interesting post on the Pro Tools 8.0.3 Big Bug thread on the Digidesign User Conference
‘redj’ posted after the 8.0.4 release…
Thanks Avid for the update ! But thereʼs already a mistake…
For me, this bug happened by two ways :
The first one is now resolved (opening a session).
But the second one is not : when I remove video from firewire (deselect Video Out Firewire) PT crash ! But only if video track is offline. If video track is online, it works. Strange. Does anyone can confirm this bug ?
‘TommyT’ confirmed it…
Damn,,, you’re right, Bug confirmed here…
Guess we should change the Thread name to 8.03 Big Bug & 8.04 Smaller Bug….
DigiTechSupt officially confirmed the ‘small bug’ and the work round…
Ok, thanks for the report – we’ve been able to repro this and are looking into a fix. Not sure whose end it’s on yet – us or Apple, but we should be able to determine that shortly and I’ll reply when I know more. For now make sure to keep the video online when enabling/disabling video out FireWire (stating the obvious, yes..!).

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."

We are also having issues with the ADVC 100′s and 8.0.3 but our problems stem from using virtual instruments. When using video out firewire to the DV bridge, the system will repeatedly halt and issue RTAS CPU error -9120. Everything seems to work fine as long as VI’s and MIDI is not used in the session. We are running a new Mac Pro Quad Core (Intel i7) with 3 gigs of ram on Leopard 10.5.8. By the way, one instance of Omnisphere will easily cause these errors. Any thoughts on this wrinkle?

Additional comment regarding my previous post, increasing buffer size seems to help but it will not totally solve the problem. Also, large buffer sizes with musical performances involved are not a option.

Thanks Carlos for these comments. I haven’t upgraded to 8.0.3 or 8.0.4 partly because of these problems so I cannot comment personally. Anyone else care to comment?
