digitizing woes
I have been digitizing all day from 30 minute SP tapes in chunks up to 15 minutes without a glitch; 8bit SDI to DV from our digibeta deck. Now I put in a 90 minute SP tape and it won’t digitize much over 2 minutes (+ or – 500mb) without kicking out. This happens with either logged clips or the dreaded capture now. 1:45 to 2:15 of digitizing and it stops to search for a timecode break in continuous video. Switch back to the 30’s and flawless capture. Done the delete prefs, repair permissions, switched capture drives, turned off limit capture to 30 minutes. Any thoughts?

You can try disabling the Stop on Timecode Break feature and just force it to continue capturing even if it “thinks” it sees a timecode break. This was happening on my 1200A when capturing HD, but all the breaks were phantom. I just turned off the alert.
