Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy Can’t capture to my G-drive

    Okay, now the same thing is happening when I try to capture at all. Yesterday I tried to change my settings because each file is capturing much larger than it should be (more than 1 GB per minute of video). Following the advice on another thread here, I changed to DV-NTSC in Easy Setup and then I couldn’t capture at all.

    I changed back to my regular settings today, and now it captures maybe 3 seconds and then just stops and I get the pinwheel, then it says “Locating Timecode Break” (there is no timecode break, I have captured from this tape several times, and when trying another tape, I get the same thing).

    I trashed my prefs and started over – same thing is happening. And, of course, I have a huge project due tomorrow. I wouldn’t have changed any settings except I have other projects on my drive that I’m working on at the moment and am running out of room.

    Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

    Thats only going to work if your shot DV, and the deck is set to output DV.

    You have provided next to no info at all that no one hear can really provide you with a answer.
