breaks in Hi8 tape?

The settings you said look right for what you are trying to do. Whenever funny things happen in final cut pro it could be caused by a corrupt preference file. If you do not know how do trash your preference files do a search it has been covered many times.

I tried trashing my preferences and the same problem occurs.

So I think I may be on to something. I tried changing my capture/input to ‘DV to OfflineRT NTSC (Photo JPEG)’ and the video captured with no problems at all.

The only problem is the screen is quite small and the quality is not great.

Why would this work without dropping frames when setting capture/input to ‘DV NTSC 48kHz’ has this problem?

Would there be any capture setting that could be a medium between the two… with better quality than the Photo JPEG and smoother capture than the dv ntsc setting?

Your hard drive is too slow or too full. The freezing is caused by dropped frames of video. The short answer is that you need a faster hard drive- the mechanism should run at 7200 RPM and it would be best if it you could use firewire 800 to connect it to your powerbook.
