FCP 4.5 locks up on Capture Now
Anyone run into this with FCP 4.5?
Using Capture Now, Final Cut Pro stops responding and needs to be force quit.
Afterwards, a large file ending in *.av* is found on the drive.Apple says its a conflict with Virex or Norton, but I do not have either.
Drivin me nutz!

Shane’s Stock Answer #10
1) Set a limit on Capture Now. Never have that box unchecked. Set it to 60 min if you want the whole tape.
2) Do not under any circumstances run any anti-virus/filesaver software. Including Norton and Virex. Sure, Apple doles out Virex for free, but FCP doesn’t cooperate with it very well.
If you absolutely feel you must keep Virex installed on your system then use Kevin’s script to shut it off before you use FCP:

4) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mas OS Extended, jornalling off. If it isn’t, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
