Error: “End of tape reached, last clip was not captured.”
I am trying to import a clip that I have successfully captured in the past.
The Tape:
Vis.TC, Keycode, and Audio TC.Batch Capture settings:
Use logged clip settings, no handles, dv ntsc 48khz, 29.97, 24bit, 720×480 etc.The Deck:
Sony DVCAM DSR-11 deck, the same one I used for importing last time.The Device Control Presets:
Apple Firewire Basic, Time source: DV Time, 29.97, Non-Drop Frame.I imported the telecine log and selected the clip I wanted to capture. I hit batch capture. Click ok to the batch capture settings. The deck winds to the spot on the tape, capture starts, after 10-12 seconds or so I get this message…
Error: “End of tape reached, last clip was not captured.”

Difficult to know why.
Clean the video heads of the desk and try again.

It’s a little weird, but it all points toward time code problems. Could be some tape damage caused by shuttling the tape in the past or even the crinkling that can be caused by heating and cooling of the tape on the spool in storage. It seems like you should be able to use Apple Firewire device control instead of basic. Try fast forwarding or playing the tape to the end and then rewind to pack it on the spool. Then you might have to experiment with changing the out point or attempting to capture the clip in two overlapping parts.

Is there any timecode break at the point when the capture aborts? If so, make sure the Auto Repeat switch in the back of the deck is set to “OFF”.

My today experience.
/end of the tape reached…Mac pro dual+blackmagic extreme.
I was trying to capturing live video from satellite decoder in composite pal mode, video was ok audio too.
When i try to capture appaers that message.
My betacam 2800 recorder was turned on, in standby and online with RS422 serial control.
Switching off the recorded solved the problem.
Hope this help

Thank you all who posted – this is how we fixed the problem. Apparently, there is a tiny little ‘re-set’ button on the back of the DSR-11. Of course, they couldn’t put it on the front where it would be easy to see… But it worked! After re-setting, we no longer experienced the problem. I’m posting in case there is someone else out there that has the same issues. Sure -we probably should have known that, but at least we won’t forget in the future.

What if it actually is the end of tape and I get the same message?
