I have on occasion gotten that error as a pop-up "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." Each time, it was because I still had another application open that I had been using in tandem with MC (like After Effects or Sorenson), even though I had closed the particular project in those applications. Closing the additional applications and re-launching Composer solves the problem for me each time. So apparently, Avid still thinks the file is in use by another application even when it no longer is.

Hope this helps you.

Here is the error from the console:

Exception:
@ Sun May 31 17:30:36 2009
* Exception: DISK_SHARING_VIOLATION, filename:Z:\Avid Projects\Project Name\Family.wrt
* Exception: SYS_ERROR, status:32, msg:The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Thanks for the link from the other thread. I have actually tried that, and did so before relaunching this project today. Obviously to no avail.

Thanks!

Another thing you can check is this procedure for permissions issues, given it'a a disk sharing violation, not an access violation.

When you get the sharing violation, check the console tool and post whatever error messages it displays.

Thank you again.

However, that did not work either. I forgot to mention that when it first is saved it usually gives me the error message, but I am able to save directly thereafter.

Well, we can start with trashing the "(Project name)settings.avs" file in the specific project folder, it may have become corrupted. The system will build a new one on re-launch.

Larry, Thanks!

I copied the bin into a new project on the Xpro. It did not solve the problem. It seems to correlate with saving the project. With the autosave as well as closing and self saving.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!

XPRO maybe having problems interpolating some coding in MC 3.0 Vista. Try creating a new project in XPRO, then copy the bins from the project in MC to the one in XPRO at the folder level and see if you can successfully open the XPRO project.

I am receiving the following violation:

Exception: DISK_SHARING_VIOLATION;filename:Z:\AVID PROJECTS\Project Name\Family.wrt.

The project originated on a Windows Vista 64 machine running Media Composer 3.0. I am working on the project on a Windows XP Pro SP2 running Xpress Pro 5.2.4.

Any thought on what would be causing the error?

Thanks!
