Bounce To Disk Fails in 6.1.1 after upgrade

[Blind Dog]

I just installed 6.1.1 (upgrading from 5.3.1) Everything seems to work fine except that now I get a "bounce handler cannot keep up (-9132)".

I did install the Windows Media support. I also own the MP3 Option. This happens when bouncing to any option - WMA/WAV/ MP3. This worked fine with the same project on 5.3.1 - I was simply testing the new bounce to WMA when it started happening - now I can't bounce to anything.

Is this a bug in the code? reasoning: Project A bounces fine in 5.3.1- upgrade and now project A does not bounce - what changed? The PT software.

I've removed plugs, changed DAE/Playback settings, etc. Anyone know just what the code means? Anyone having this problem?

You're not the first person to run into this problem since upgrading to 6.1 or 6.1.1.

Here are a couple of threads.
Rail lists other important threads in the first link, second post.

Also search this forum with "Search the DUC" link (above or below). Lots of info there.

Thanks - I've read most of this stuff - it won't fix the problem. It should be pretty clear now to all that this is most likely a problem with the PT software's bounce engine - if I had to speculate I'd point to the changes that support the inclusion of the new target file types.

Digi states that you should turn off paging and disable all apps that execute with the run command on startup - I agree with the later but not the former - that's just a misunderstanding of the Windows Kernel and paging works. Digidesign has suggested that there is a patch forth-coming - looks like my PT production is severly crippled until they can fix the problem.

When I got this same error, I defragmented my OS hard drive and then things were back to normal. I've only seen this error that one time and I have been using 6.1.1 from the first day it was out.
I hope this helps.

I figured it was my Audio HD first but it wasn't, it was the Operating System HD (C: where PT is installed) and it was in a mess after just two days.

I hope this helps.

Where and when did Digi state this?

well, I can't tell you when, tele - but I expect you don't really care anyways - my impression is that you're being antagonistic - sorry in advance if I got the wrong idea.

the "where" is easy - search the answerbase for the bounce handler error dialog text and you'll find it.

the patch is hear-say from a post on DUC where a user claimed he called customer support.

As far as the drives go, my drives are not fragmented - like I stated: This problem did not exist in 5.3.1 - it was introduced immediately upon upgrading to 6.1.1.

Here's a story....and it's true!

Ever since the move to a 002 and 6.1.1 on windows xp pro.....I was having trouble bouncing to mp3.
( I have Digi's MP3 Option). I would get consistent "access violations".and BTD handler can not keep up errors.

A little poking, probing and testing shows that (on my set up at least) it must be a 24 bit session to bounce to mp3. 16 bit sessions will not bounce to mp3.

I did not have this problem with the old setup (AMIII and 5.3.1).

Hope this helps somebody.

Add me to the list with this problem. I can't bounce anything. I get the "Bounce Handler Cannot Keep Up (-9132) error. It's not following any patterns as others have stated. I've gotten it to bounce successfully a couple times but quits in different spots each time. This really sucks. I'm surprised there's no fix for this yet since it seems to have been a problem for a number of people now for a few months. Oh well, I guess I threw away 75 bucks and will have to ghost back to 5.3.1 for now. I'll try the Sandra report from the other thread when I get a chance if that is still going.
