Cut on the Bleeding Edge…. “Tape Trouble”
I’m trying to get our brand new system to work.
Dual 2.7 G5 running OS 10.4.1. Just installed FC-Studio. Downloaded the new drivers from AJA for my IO and installed them.
Everything seems to be communicting well, but….
When I try to capture from tape about half the time the capture will quit with a warning message that reads:“Tape Trouble. Check VTR. Do not attempt to eject tape or use transport without checking VTR first”
The tape deck is fine. The message comes up a few seconds into the capture. Got the same problem with “Capture Now”, “Capture Clip” and “Batch Capture”.
So any ideas? Is there something I can do to make the whole process less sensitive to any tape jitters?

Clean the deck… I only see this when it’s got dirt on the heads…

did you ever figure out what the issue was, David? I’m currently getting the same error messages.
Thanks
