IMac G5 Capture - General Error Message

Hi guys,
I've just sold my trusty (old) Powerbook, and bought a new iMac G5 (1.9Ghz) 1Gb Ram etc.
When I installed FCP4.5HD I got the first problem - no AGP card, so checking through the forums I found the answer lies in renaming <AGP> to <PCI> in the File Contents/Plist folder - OK so now FCP at least boots.
Now I can't seem to capture from my new Sony DCR-HC90E Mini DV Camera.
I've been through all the settings I can think of, but still I'm not able to capture. . . . . no previous problems on the PB!
If I run the tape via the FW Controller in the capture window, the main capture window opens as if to start the capture, but then I get a message telling me "General Error!" - That's it! No other explanation.
Is there something wrong with my new purchase, or do I still have a setting wrong somewhere?
I've set my system up for DV-PAL Basic at 48Khz Audio.
Hope someone can let me know where I'm going wrong here!
Thanks

Are you using the appropriate firewire protocol (Firewire, not Firewire Basic?)
Are there any other devices between the camera and the computer?
If yes, remove them and try again.
Does the camera capture using iMovie?
If yes, you may have a quicktime issue and may need to do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.

  • General Error Message Won't Let Me Save

    Hello,
    I was editing an HD video earlier and I switched my audio/video settings to sequence preset DVCPRO HD - 720p24 - my capture present to DV NTSC 48 Khz (since im not capturing. i pulled files off an external hard drive - my device control preset was on SONY HDV FireWire. My video playback was on apple firewire DVCPRO NSTC 720x480. I opened another project and switched my user settings to regular DV NTSC. when I got back on my HD video, it showed that I needed unexpected rendering. When I rendered it gave the "general error" message. I had to select each clip that needed rendering and move it a little, then re render the selection. when I went to save the project it gave me the same "general error" message. I need to export this project to qucktime ASAP to put on a DVD. what should I do? pleeeease help......
    thanks in advance.
    and am I royally screwed????

    sounds like you have some corruption going on, or perhaps a permissions issue (though I think that's less likely). Here are some things I'd try.
    Create a new sequence with the proper settings for your footage. Copy all the clips in your old sequence and paste into the new sequence.
    Create a new project with a new sequence. Copy and paste the clips of old sequence into the new sequence of the new project. Save As and give it a new file name.
    Check the pathway to your Render folder and your Save folder. Make sure that permissions allow for READ AND WRITE all the way down. In other words, if your render folder is in:
    Harddrive/FCP/Render
    Then make sure all three have READ WRITE permissions applied. Do this by selecting them one by one and hitting CMD+I for info. Then look at the permissions.
    Hopefully one of those options will help.

  • General error message

    I have recently finished and edited a wedding DVD for a client.However they want now all uncut footage onto a DVD but every time i export it (sequence is only 1 hr 30 mins) it comes up with a general error message just before completing.I have also rendered all in the sequence and i have 35 gb available on the drive and there are no transitions between clips except for a dissolve on the intro and a fade out at the end.
    Any advice is welcome and many thanks in advance.

    Thanks for an interesting idea but allas it didn't work !!
    It wouldn't export the first raw footage sequence I exported without any transittions . So I then exported it a second time but with a cross disolve at the front and a fade out at the end and all was then fine. But with the raw footage 2 sequence I'm doing now I'm still getting the " general error" message even after this little trick.... and after your trick too........
    Oh well thanks for the tip.

  • How to capture Exception error message in Odata ?

    Hi,
      I am new to sap gateway. Currently i am creating a Odata Service through the transaction SEGW. In the query i have mapped a RFC. When i execute the service sometimes the RFC throws exception like 'No data Found'. But i dont know how to capture the exception returned from the RFC.
    I read some threads which says use
    RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE /IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION
          EXPORTING
            textid            = /iwbep/cx_mgw_busi_exception=>business_error
            message       =  lv_text
            message_container = io_message_container.
    My doubt is since i have not done any code in the DPC method. As said in many threads should i go to DPC_EXT method and redefine the method or how to capture the exception.
    Kindly advise. Thanks in advance

    Hello Velsankar,
    You need not to capture the error messages explicitly by writing custom code in you DPC_EXT if you are using service builder when the return error message table is of type BAPIRET2.
    GW itself will handle and return the error messages.
    If at all the return error message table is of different type , i mean to say if it is not of type BAPIRET2 then you need to capture explicitly.
    The below is the code you need to write in DPC_EXT to capture.
    DATA: LO_MECO TYPE REF TO /IWBEP/IF_MESSAGE_CONTAINER.
    DATA: LX_BUSI_EXC TYPE REF TO /IWBEP/CX_MGW_BUSI_EXCEPTION.
            LO_MECO = MO_CONTEXT->GET_MESSAGE_CONTAINER( ).
             LO_MECO->ADD_MESSAGES_FROM_BAPI( IT_BAPI_MESSAGES = LT_ERR_RET_TAB ).
             CREATE OBJECT LX_BUSI_EXC
               EXPORTING
                 MESSAGE_CONTAINER = LO_MECO.
             RAISE EXCEPTION LX_BUSI_EXC.
    Note : where LT_ERR_RET_TAB is your internal table where you would have captured all the error messages.
    That is it. You will be able to see the messages .

  • I'm getting a general error message then out of memory trying to add a new sequence

    Anyone know how to fix??  i am getting a general error message and then out of memory when adding a new squence??  Help!

    The General Error warning is usually associated with incompatible files.
    Out of Memory can be caused by corrupted clips, incompatible files and still images that use a color mode other than RGB.

  • How to capture the error messages from incorrect session?

    Hi SDNs.,
    i am using BDC Session method to update transaction FB01. So my job runs daily. here i want to capture the error messages and i want to send it to mail.  Can i capture the unprocessed records???
    i think FM <b>SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1</b> used for sending mail? but how to capture mes or records?
    or Is there any other way to Do it???
    Thankning you.,
    Ram

    Hi Ramakrishna,
       Once you create the session, Process the session using
    the report RSBDCSUB using submit statement.
    It would list out the erroneous records.
    Hence, while submitting, just say submit RSBDCSUB in background and export output list to memory.,
    Then you can retrieve the list from memory using the FM LIST_FROM_MEMORY into the internal table and finally send the email by the fm you have already mentioned.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • I get a General Error message when I convert my film to Quicktime Movie.

    I've compressed my film down to 24p etc etc. That worked fine. Before I did the compression there were some things I had to reconnect, did that, there was only one that didn't reconnect but the compression worked fine. Then I go to turn the film into a Quicktime Movie, I get to about 60% then I get a General Error message. Anyone have any ideas why thats happening?

    Have you tried the compression with cinema tools?
    make a quicktime movie of the stuff at 25 that you want to compress at 24 and go to cinema tools. make sure you create a new database at 24fps and try menu clip / comform. notice that cinema tools doesn't duplicate the clip, so it converts the one you are importing, make sure it is a copy of the original at 25

    please help!

    Tell us more about the disk and partition onto which you are trying to install Mountain Lion:
    Open Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities). The left column should show your disk with its partition(s) indented below it:
    How is the disk (top level container) formatted according to Disk Utility:
    * What Partiton Map Scheme? (Should be "GUID Partition Table".)
    * How many partitions? (Should be 1 unless you have a Boot Camp partition.)

  • Missing Render files, won't play, General Error message

    I have Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 on my Mac 1.8 Ghz Power PC G5, using Mac OS 10.4.10.
    I just opened a Final Cut Pro project and got a message that several render files were offline. No idea how that happened, and I couldn't find them to reconnect. Now, when I try to play the video, it stops and a "General Error" message comes up.
    I tried re-rendering the whole thing,and reconnected all my media files, but it still won't play. Any ideas on how to save my project?

    There are just too many possibilities for us to start guessing. Try searching for GENERAL ERROR and MISSING RENDER FILES, both topics get posted often so you'll find several suggestions and possible causes. However, not many people bother to close their threads around here so there's no way to know if any of the information we passed on was of any help.
    FCP 4 and 5 had the odd super-power to make files disappear as if they had never existed. General Error often indicates a corrupt project file so try to open one of your AutoSaves.
