Final cut pause on capture
Hey dudes, I am trying to capture some footage, yet when final cut starts to digitise it gets about ten seconds in and the video pauses then catches up then the audio dissapperas etc. then it just stops. I have a logged clip I am trying to capture and it won’t scoop it in and I also tried simply hitting capture now and the same thing happens, all the tapes are fine and my decks are fine as well….
I checked all my settings and they are ok too, I am using a dual g5 2ghz 3.5 gig ram, final cut studio, black magic decklink and taking in at 8bit…… I am using fiber channel to digitize onto an xserve raid, I ran my black magic disk speed test and it is saying it’s only reading and writing at 20.6 mb/s and 22.0 mb/s………any help is mucho appreciated 🙂
cheers. -

dude.. i actually had this problem once.. its all in the xraid settings… if you have support they will make sure you have all the right settings.. it may have been a block issue. .. dont give up, youre not as scewed as you think. as far as im concerned fcp is still in beta stages. its no avid.

yeah the dudes from apple care told me to update my raid admin and my firmware but I’m unsure why all of a sudden it would mess up like this? all because my software and firmware are not the most up to date!!!! it worked fine for two years or however long it has been. If you can remember the settings they told you to change could you tell me?.

no idea.. they xraid was at a place i freelance at.. got on the phone.. changed the blocksize to bigger files and that was it (dont really remember though). did not have to erase or re-stripe anything.

Cheers for all your responses guys 😀
Basically I got on the phone to apple and we discovered that one of my disks was busted so they shipped me a new one and it works like a charm now, normally if a disk fails you get an amber light on the offending disk and you would hear a constant warning tone and you would also see an amber light over your warning sign on the left of your xserve raid, none of this happened until day three when I got a solid blue light on the broken drive then today as I went to open up work I could hear the warning tone and then I got the amber lights etc. etc. the new drive arrived today :).
So watch out folks with an xserve raid if you get slwo performance and a solid blue light on one of the drives as you try to write to your raid then likely your drive will need replaced.
