  • Canon E1 plug-in capture problems

    I posted this yesterday in the Final Cut forum, sorry for redundancy but I think folks here might have more insight on the matter:

    CONTEXT: Capturing 2 32gb cards of MOV files shot on a t2i to fcs3 via E1.

    PROBLEM 1: The majority of my files are captured fine, but here and there I am having a problem where the E1 plug-in only captures a portion of the clip. The source files are 4 and 5 minutes, but the transferred clips are cut short by at least half. Is E1 still too new to be considered reliable? What gives?

    PROBLEM 2: (Probably unrelated?) A couple of my MOV files are completely unreadable from the card. I’m getting the “the file is not a movie file” error. Are the files corrupted? Are they impossible to fix? Is there an app for that?

    Totally stumped.

    Try playing in VLC, if they can play then I’ve had SOME luck transcoding in other software…if not..then from my experience, you’re screwed on those clips.
