Capture Scratch

[Jerry Hofmann]

Sounds like something wrong with the files in there. Do they play OK? MIght want to try a software program to clone that drive with. Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper… both free just google them.

The files work fine, they open, even in my fc timeline they work, i don’t want to re-capture the footage because i’ve synced the audio, its a music concert, I’m trying to put the capture files onto my hard drive, those two softwares you suggested copy the hard drive , i only want the footage!

can it be because my external harddrive is ms-dos and not os x? is that why it says it cant be moved? because i can move the .mov files anywhere on the computer itself

Have you looked at the file permissions? Do a “Get Info” on the containing folder, set them to Read & Write and apply that the the enclosed files. That might work.

Also make sure you are doing a copy and not a move when you transfer them to the second drive.

Thanks for your help everyone, it was because my external hd was ms-dos, i changed it to mac os extended journal and it worked!
