General Error message when capturing
Hi,
I have an older Mac. It’s a 466 G4. I run FCP HD but have had problems off and on with my setup. I am trying to caputure old VHS footage thru a Sony analogue to digital converter. When I hit capture it says General Error. I’ve tried trashing the preferences. Any other ideas?

VHS is very problematic.
Try copying the VHS tapes to DV tape first, then capture the DV tape.

I followed your advice and all was working fine until this afternoon. I was capturing with my camera thru firewirethis morning. Took a break and connected my camera same exact settings as earlier and blam “general error”. I seem to be getting this on a frequent basis. I’m not the most tech savoy person and I’m wondering if it’s the basic set up of my system or if I’m not doing proper maintence to the system? I have a Mac G4 466 processor running Final Cut HD this didn’t happen in FCP4. Is it to much for my computer?
