Capture fails- pinweel- bogus reason
G5 duel proces.
FCP 4.5 HDDurring capture (at about 6 minutes) either logged or “capture now” the capture window freezes the video and the pinweel comes up. The deck keeps playing. After several minutes the program comes back on and says “dropped frame durring capture.”
I reset my system preferences- erased the old preferences- to NOT STOP CAPTURE if it got dropped frames.
I’ve tried different tapes and different sections of the tapes (all stop at about 5-6 minutes).
I reformated my scratch disk.
I changed firewire cables.
Captureing four minute clips at a time is not an option for this project.
ideas? and thank you so much if you have any ideas.

i have similar issues with 4.5…5 minutes in to capture and it fills up my scratchdisk…
i have several posts about this, and am still trying things out. I want to try to uninstall 4.5 completely, but can’t find anywhere on the web with instructions on how to do it. Apple Support only has instructions on how to uninstall Studio 2.
anybody know where to find instructions on uninstalling Final Cut Studio 4.5 and all it’s components?
thanks in advance,
micah

I have unloaded and loaded in 4.5 and it is still happening the same way. What the heck. I just emailed Larry Jordan to see if he has any idea…

You might start out by giving some technical information about your system, computer, drives, decks, how everything’s connected, version of OS and QT and anything else you think might be relevant. Can’t trouble shoot beyond guessing without any information.
All the best,

it is not agreeing with FC 4.5. Much discussion can be found here:

The same process to unistall FC6 works for all the FC versions, so manually.

those threads have been taken off the bulletin board. Can you tell us what it said? I’m having the same problem. A two minute or so mini-dv clip taking up 365GB at capture. Arrrgggh!

and Final Cut ver. 4.5…
apparently, you need to do a complete uninstall of FCS and QuickTime, then reinstall FCS with QuickTime 7.2, but not 7.3.
I’m not sure if you have to uninstall your OS and reinstall it, but maybe someone who’s overcome this hurdle can illuminate better than I. I’m in the middle of trying to navigate my way back to a functioning computer. I’m probably going to just upgrade to Leopard and Studio 2 so that QT 7.3 plays nice with everybody.
