by passing time code breaks during capture
Hi,
I have a tape that has audio drop outs (i’ve discovered this after the shoot, camera needs to get repaired). I’m trying to capture the tape, but the drop outs (although according to the numbers, it doesnt look like there is a time code break), are preventing FCP5 from completing the capture…it keeps stopping me to tell me there are time code breaks or errors due to the tape. I have disabled any abort options in the preferences, i’ve tried capture now, i’ve tried different decks and fcp applications (meaning different computers with FCP 5) and i’ve tried making a dub of the tape…none work. I’m finding it impossible to get this material into my system…
help.

umm, a good workaround would be.
transfer the tape to a new minidv tape, then try to capture that.
also, you could try capturing it without timecode,

There are probably many areas where the video is too unstable for capture. Making a firewire dub wont fix this, as it will just duplicate the unstable portions.
Try having an analog dub made through a TBC/Frame Sync at your local dub house. -
Try turning off Device Control, and then do a Capture Now.

already tried that….won’t work either.

You’re right, i made a dub and the situation sitll exists. Making an analog dub however seems like a good solution…i’ll try that.

Thanks, an analog dub seems to have done the trick.
