can’t capture above 3000K data rate
For years I have been able to capture above 3000K data rate with my igniter rt and fcp3. Now for no apparent reason, I cannot set my igniter to capture above about 3000K per sec without having dropped frames immediately. It’s a very hard line. There is no grey area. Either it will capture and run for a long time just below 3000K, or above 3000K it immediately stops, telling me it dropped frames. Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can troubleshoot this? I already tried reinstalling various versions of the driver, tried dumping FCP prefs, it’s all the same.
thanks a lot

The problem with dropped frames is not enough throughput. Throughput is almost always related to 1) a hard drive issue 2) a cabling or connection issue 3) a software issue — and in that order.
Are any of your hard drives nearly full? What do you have connected to your firewire ports? Have you connected anything new to your firewire connections recently? Have you tried capturing to an internal drive other than you media drive? Have you loaded any new software on your system lately?

New information: I am able to capture in FCP3 in OS 9.2.2 at high data rates. This is good news for me, however, I am unable to capture with the same hardware in FCP 3 in OX 10.3.8 above 2200K.
I did recently install OSX panther and I am using it with FCP3. I can’t say that I have ever captured at a high data rate in OSX. Not sure what’s going on here, I have posted an inquiry on the Igniter newsgroup so far nothing…thought somebody over here might have some ideas.
thanks for any help
