Hey-
To anyone who's been having a lot of random crashes while scrubbing
with the new XTools and Premiere Pro, I may have found the solution. I
was getting 10-20 crashes a day. (Luckily, you could still save
projects after it crashed, but a time waster to say the least.)
Anyway, on a hunch, I went into preferences on Premiere Pro and turned
off the option to play audio while scrubbing. Tada! Unfortuantely I
didn't figure it out until after finishing 3 big projects, but I can't
make it crash now no matter how fast I scrub. I even left Photoshop
running once.
Hopefully this will save someone a headache. For reference, I'm
running it on a dual-Athlon 2200+, Tyan Tiger MB, 1GB DDR, Sound
Blaster Audigy Platnum (causing the problem?), and a Promise TX2 RAID
card striped with WD 120GB EIDE drives. Both the RAID and the RTX100
are on 66Mhz slots, but I'm not sure in what order.
