    I got the same message. My recording quality was on HQ, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it. When I tried to create a wave file, it said "encoding," but the progress bar never moved past 0%. Frustrating. I just might be returning mine.... :(

    Same problem with the RCA RP5022. I tried upgrading the DVM (digital voice manager) software to version 3.24 but it didn't help. When you want to play a recording, every once in a while it says "Warning Decoding: Framesize a negative value." with a box to click OK. It will allow me to make it into an .exe file (which is of no use to me), but when I try to make it into a .wav file, it starts and then freezes until I close the program.

    RCA RP5022. I am unable to play or save the file into my computer. It allows me to play only thru my Digital voice recorder only. It displays a message in a box "Negative Framsize". I need to transfer the file and play it to my computer.



    I installed a version 3.24 and it didn't work.

    Can you help me/advice me?



    Thanks

Lindfors127,

I used this solution and it works. Unfortunately it, of course, deleted a recording I wanted to save.

Too bad RCA doesn't include those instructions with the notation to do so PRIOR to making a recording you want to keep.

Sent a note to customer "service" but seriously doubt I will hear back or that they will do anything.

Thanks.

I let my rechargeable batteries run down before I closed a file. When I later transfered my file to the computer to the RCA Digital Manager program, I could do nothing and got the "Code Warning" message.
I left my DVR plugged into the USB cable and formatted my "removable drive G" which was my DVR. After that when I tried to turn on my DVR I got a blinking message "format." In desperation I pushed in the button for deleting a file from my DVR steadily for about five seconds. Voila! Everything came back to normal. I was able to turn my files into exe. files once again.

Same problem. I'm going to return mine and make sure I do negative advertising for RCA.

Your best bet is to play the recordings through the headphone connector to a pc audio line-in connector and capture the audio using something like Audacity. Then output them using audacity to mp3 to play on your mp3 player.

These units are notorious for their failing USB feature.

RCA Digital Voice Manager software for RP5120 "warning decoding"
Bad News... I spoke to AudioVox/RCA (800-894-0956 < Direct DVR Number) and they told me that once you get this notification of a bad file format, there is NOTHING that can be done.

I tried DOS, too. Nothing worked.

The only thing left to try is connecting the recorder to the computer via a cable from the line out of the DVR to the line in of the audio card, and record from there. I'm going to try this, then return the recorder, if possible. Mind you, I've gone through several of these recorders and all of them have had this problem... eventually.

The customer service person there at AudioVox/RCA was direct, helpful, but clear that I couldn't do anything but reformat the recorder. Though she didn't really seem to care, by her tone, one way or another. They were still reproducing this product even with the flaws that exist (they certainly did not take ownership of the problem... they said it was out of their control and the problem was just like a virus).

For Windows, you can download "Data Conversion Tool for PA-VR Series" from an Italian website. It's a drop and drag feature than turns the .48s into .wav. I am looking for a solution that works on MAC. http://esupport.sharp-cee.com/html/software/DataOutputDetail.php?TemplateLang=it&ID=96 Click on 'Scarcia' to download it.

Framesize is negative value
All I can say is, get used to it. Customer support will be of no help, at all. They;ll advise you to reformat, whcih will delete everything and does nto solve the problem. Then they will tell you to check your compatibility settings, which doesn't solve anything. I have this recorder, actually two of them and my brother in law has one. Two of them work fine, the toher does not. Sometimes it worls sometimes it doesn't. I wrote to support and told them I had reformatted numerous times without it helping. Guess what they said when they wrote back? They gave me instructions on how to reformat. They said I should backup my files so i would nto lsoe them. Well, I can't back them up if I can't get them off the recorder....I've ran into numerous people with the same problems and the same stories abotu customer support. SOme of the complaints date back over a year.

Framesize is negative value
Here is something that has worked for me when nothing else would.

In Win XP, right click on the drive letter for the RCA DVR and select properties, tools, error checking. Click the "Check Now" button. Check both the "Automatically fix file system errors" and the "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors" boxes. Then Start.

Usually, my file is repaired completely with no losses, but once in a while I end up losing segments of the audio. But having some is better than none.

Lastly, when I run into a problem like this, I always make it a point to reformat the drive after I salvage the files. If you don't, more files will get trashed in the future.

I hope this helps someone. Pass it on or post/link it to other sites.
