DVC Pro 50 Problem That Needs Immediate Attention
Hello All,
I am working on a project shot on DVC PRO 50… I have AJ-SD93 deck and I am capturing Firewire in to Final Cut. I have version 5.0.4. I have captured to an SATA, SCSI, Firewire, and the internal harddrive of my G5 and I keep getting sync issues. The sync continues to fall out towards the end of the clip. I have tossed my User Data and nothing has happened. I have swapped cables and nothing. Sometimes the audio rate comes us as 47994.8Hz or something bizarre. I need this issue to be solved immediately. I have 30 more tapes to go by Saturday.

I’m not sure what to say?
Are you trying to remove a 24PA pulldown? Have you tried setting the deck back to factory settings? Have you tested a different system? Did you commit a major transgression against God in the past 24 hours?

I encountered a similar problem with a Panasonic deck capturing video with audio at 48.497khz. I never quite figured out how to fix it, just kept capturing smaller and smaller chunks of video logging rather than using Capture Now. It ended up taking me 16 hours to capture 6 hours of video, and one tape never ended up right.

I love it when people flag their posts as “Help! Need help right now!”, but then when they
get responses they don’t acknowledge them. “Needs Immediate Attention”, yeah right.

Excuse Me. I work for a production company. I posted the thread at 5:00 PM at closing. It is now 9:00AM and we are opening, thus, checking responses to my post now.

We had exact same problem…try to log and capture your footage instead of capture now…Also, if you toss the media associated with the clips and re-batch capture the clips, the clips will retain the squirrely sample rates…Oh, and by the way, this problem also happens with dv25 footage that is captured by capture now.
Hope this helps

Dear Irish,
You should really fill out your Cow profile. I’m sure many of the others here would like to know a bit about you — for example, if you are among the Irish in Ireland or one of the many imigrants elsewhere in the world. The Cow is a great place for meeting people and getting to know other professionals all around the world if you share a litle about yourself.

Sorry, maybe I jumped the gun, or maybe the post shouldn’t have read “Immediate Attention”. Maybe it could have said “DVC Pro 50 Problem That Needs Attention Tomorrow, Around Nineish Would Be Good” 🙂

Ed,
Normally when I see the term “LOL” I tend to doubt if they really laughed aloud, cuz most of the stuff isn’t even funny enough to make me even snicker silently. However, I literally did LOL at “Around Nineish,” so, you get today’s comedy gold star.
