DV capture

[Tom Wolsky]

Most likely not. As systems move away from tape this becomes less and less important.

All the best,

Tom,
I have another question, I do weddings and I like to capture all my footage at once. In my old windows system I could start it capturing and walk away it would automaticly break up my clips(which we discussed) it would also make big clips if neccesary I just ried capturing a wedding in FCP and it kept stopping at 2 gigs, the only way I could get around this was to change the cut off amount but then I needed to guess on how much space it would use up. Is there a setting im missing?

Lot of questions here. You capture your material in long chunks and use DVD Start/Stop Detect to break it up.

There should be no breaks at the 2G size if the drive is properly formatted to Mac OS Extended.

All the best,

Tom

I figured it out, I was capturing across a network to a NTFS drive that must have been it. I just will have to capture to a Mac drive then copy it to my server.

Thanks again
Randy
