Captured files – video only – kinda’ time sensitive
Hello Cows.
Odd problem that cropped up a while back and is about to cause a major headache.
I’m capturing DV files and getting a “-v” added to the file name on disk. (For example: “test-v.mov” when the clipis logged and loaded as “test”) They play fine in the project, but there’s no audio when played via Quicktime or when imported into a different project.
Details:
FCP 5.1.4 on MacBook Pro (Intel, first generation, so several years old). 2 Gig RAM
1 LaCie 1Terabyte (striped RAID 0) via eSata.
1 Blackstar Pro 400 Gig (from Melrose Mac), also via eSata.
Capture device varies from consumer camera to JVC BR-DV3000 deck.This is a relatively new problem, and I’m about to start loading lots of tapes to an archive drive for a client. Obviously, no audio except within the original project is a problem.
Any ideas? Did a search, couldn’t find this problem.

hmm…I could be wrong, but I think that means your hard drive is not formatted correctly. Check Disk Utility and make sure it’s formatted for Mac OS Extended

Sorry – forgot that part. Both drives are Mac OSX Extended. 1 is journaled, the other is not. I think the 2 Gig split files show up as -1, -2, etc.

Then you have a file size limit set in the System Preferences. Unchecked that.

Well…trashing the prefs seems to have fixed the problem. So I guess the immediate panic is over. But I would like to know what people think about this behavior. Anyone else had this happen? Any thoughts on just what went wrong?

Hi Shane. That was one of the first things I checked. I did some tests and it happened on each 3-5 second test capture I did, whether “capture now” or log & capture. See below, though, where trashing the prefs seems to have fixed the problem.

You fed Gizmo after midnight. No other way to explain it.

These AV files always show when the system, for any reason, is unable to write directly the files on the HD.
The system write in a temporal memory and these AV are the remaining of the process.
That’s what I think. No legal proves about.
