Got EC_ERRORABORT notifcation

Paul Firth · December 19th, 2009, 08:13 AM

Thought I would share with everyone a problem I was having. I have been using cineform without problems with several video cameras but several months ago purchased a Sony HDR-XR500. I taped several hours of footage but everytime I tried to import it I would get the 0x80040228 error and only about 15-22 seconds of footage would be transcoded.

I searched through this and several forums and could not find a reason for it. Finally, through trial and error I have been able to duplicate (and fix) the problem.

It seems that Cineform hates 5.1 stereo. When I switched the camera from 5.1 sound to regular stereo, cineform was able to transcode and handle it correctly. Sheesh. I don't mind recording in regular 2 channel stereo but it took a LONG time to figure out the problem.

Hope this post saves others the same headache.

Good investigation. You will likely find that you can fix this in the AC3Filter settings panel, we will convert 5.1 to stereo, preventing this error.
