[shanamchugh] “The settings in Final cut are the same, the only difference is the drive that the media was recorded to. Is it possible for final cut to record capture at a lower frame rate?”
Sounds as if the original capture was dropping frames or otherwise simply corrupted capture. The client does not sound very savy, so probably their mistake.

If frames are dropped final cut warns me. It did not say frames were dropped. I didn’t think it was possible to capture at a slower frame rate.

Here’s an update.
I recaptured the footage to one of the computers internal hard-drives. All seemed to be fine. I captured three tapes with out changing a thing. When I opened the project the first tape had issues with the audio. It said it was recorded at 47.897 (this .— varies).
The problem seems to be with breaks in the timecode on the DVC pro50 tape. Even when the camera was put into stand-by Final Cut would get confused and capture unnecessary frames then attempt to fit the audio to the captured video.
In Final Cut, if timecode breaks “warn after capture” was selected.
I went back and logged new clips based on time code breaks and I was able to solve the problem in the slowest way possible.
