Hi,

I have just purchased the new 2018 Band in a Box version with all the RealPaks and the VideoPaks.

Things that appear not to function as they should.

1. When I go to Options/MIDI/Audio setup and select the Audio setting the program crashes with windows having to close the program (it never gets to the audio setting)

2. When I have selected Video RealTracks and try to create a video with more than one video i.e. 3 vertical, the program seems to create the videos but just hangs there with no file being created.
NOTE: it works ok if only one Video realtrack is selected.

George, about issue 1, to rule something out, try running BBWEXE As Administrator.

George,

As a test...

1. Close BIAB down.

2. Go to \bb\Preferences and rename INTRFACE.BBW to INTRFACE.OLD

3. Also rename MYSETUP.DK to MYSETUP.OLD

Doing the above forces BIAB to create new versions of these files when you start the program and returns all settings for MIDI and Audio to the zero state.

By renaming them, it also allows them to be restored should you wish to get back to the originals. To do this, just delete the newly created ones and rename the .OLD files back to the original names.

Let us know how you go.

Regards,
Noel

George, sorry, then I don't know. We did not have that problem in testing, to my knowledge. Give Support a call or shout.

I did as you suggested and it made no difference.

I downloaded the 2018 503 update and that seemed to fix the problem.

Hi Matt,

After downloading the 2018 503 update file and installing it I thought that it had fixed the video problem I was having but alas no.

This is what I did to test it.

I loaded the bass video instrument clicked play then selected the video by right clicking on the bass instrument and selecting Render Video(s).
When the video selection screen shows up, if I leave it as default (1 video) it works.

If I then select the same but change the Video selectin to 3 videos and select the bass(V) then select the notation for the other 2, it works.

When I load bass(V) then select a piano(V) then a Drum(V) and select render to video, when I then select the 3 videos and place in the correct place, the program, then renders the three videos but does not finalise the video for showing. It just remains with the view rendering video 3 until I close the screen.

Checking on the video file to see it it has (in the meantime) finalised the video but no.
