DVCProHD 1080i Won’t capture due to dropped frames
Last night I got some DVCpro HD tapes in, the shooter says he shot at 1080i 59.94. I’m trying to capture in FCP 6 through the Kona2 but I keep getting an error that says It can’t capture due to dropped frames. I turned off the stop capture on dropped frames setting but then the capture just searches for timecode.
I’ve tried just about all the capture settings, Kona 1080i 29.97, tried down converting and capturing at 720 59.94 (which screwed up the picture), DVCPro 1080i60 among others, and the only thing that actually captured was Uncompressed, which is just ridiculous. Any thoughts?
I’m working on a clients older powermac G5 – OSX 10.4.11

CPU Speed: 2.7 GHz
Memory: 4.5 GBThanks for any help.

Yep, tried that, but like I said, only setting that would capture was uncompressed. Sorry, forgot to put in my original post that I tried uncontrollable device.
