Help Needed Urgently re: nNovia QuickCapture Media Files
Hi all,
I’m in a bit of a bind and I’m hoping that someone who has experience with the nNovia QuickCapture direct to disk dv devices can help (I am using a 40GB model at my workplace – unfortunately no one really knows how it works and the manual and web site don’t seem to answer these two issues).
1.) We capture footage and then “make media files” with it (QuickTime .mov). We flip it to hard drive mode, it shows up and we copy the files. Unfortunately once copied the files are locked. Each one has a little lock on the icon, and although we can play them back we can’t delete any. Anyone have a clue how we could solve this?
2.) The videos we capture all have a timecode in the upper left hand corner embedded in the video picture. We’ve seen some videos others before-my-time had made with this device and they do not have the timecode. We’ve checked the manual and FAQ on the web site, adjusted the two timecode related options in the menu settings but nothing has resolved the issue. Does anyone know how to capture and copy the files without this embedded timecode display?
Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your help. It’s hoping against hope but we wanted to use this for an event tomorrow morning (about 17 hours from now). We always have tapes to fall back on, but I’d love to get this solved before then if possible.

Hi,
1) To unlock the files, just chose them in finder and “get infor” (Apple ‘i’), there will be a function for you to unlock them. This should allow you to perform all the necessary.
2) No real solution for timecode but they do appear outside the TV safe area so technically it should not appear on your conventional TV screen. Alternatively, you can do a quick mask on the visuals.
Hope this helps.
