dropped frames
Now I know why my audio was out of sync. it was because I had it set not to tell me when frames were dropped during capture. i checked that box and now It wont let me digitize anything for more than 30 seconds. It aborts and says frames were dropped during last capture attempt. I know it’s not the tapes and its not the cable so how do I get it to stop frames from dropping? in case it helps I’m working on a Mac G5 with a firewire cable going from a vcr deck to the computer. I’m also using Final Cut Pro HD. The Operating system is OS X 10.4.9. i think thats all you need to know. please help.

Actually another thing we’d need to know is what disk drive you are capturing to?

Ah…known issue. FCP 4.5 and OS 10.4.9 don’t mix.

Shane’s Stock Answer #45 – How to get FCP 4.5 working again under Mac OS 10.4.9
Apple’s solution: Archive and install the OS again, this time updating only to 10.4.8.
Another COOL solution: Samba2007 posted that a friend solved the FCP 4.5 + OSX 10.4.9 capture issue adding the Capture Scratch folder to the Privacy of Spotlight in this thread:

OlSchoolCutter tried with SUCCESS (see post in that thread).
Then follow these stesp and try (it’s free!):
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View menu, choose Spotlight.
3. Click the Privacy tab to reveal the areas that Spotlight will not index.
4. In the Finder, open your “Final Cut Pro Documents” folder.
5. Drag the Capture Scratch folder into Spotlight’s list.Shane
