G5 gigabit interface
well this is really odd
Using G5 DP 2.0 (1.5GB RAM) to capture DV footage to my local fileserver over gigabit to humangous raid5 storage (with blackmagic speed test I get about 60MB/s) the capture drops frames @ totally randoom points – max it captures is about 8min
Now I did the same thing from my mac mini over 100ether and had no dropouts for 12x60min so what the F**** gives
The server side is Opteron with 1GB mem 2.8TB raid5 intel pro NIC (dual port on PCI-X) inside the box blackmagic speed test gives about 160MB/s
any ideas?

If the NIC’s are explicitly set to either 100 or 1000 or 1000/half and NOT Auto then it sounds like something else is going on in the background on the G5. Make sure all NICs are set to the same speed – don’t use Auto. Check that you have no maintainance apps etc popping up.
