  • JVC HD 110U workflow question

    Posted by Ben Brodbeck on February 4, 2007 at 2:42 am

    I’m having that same problem everyone else is having with capturing. It stops and makes up an error about a dropped frame.
    I see that someone suggested using DVHSCAP.app to capture the footage.

    My question is, where can I find this DVHSCAP.app ???

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Dropped frames are usually caused by drives not being able to keep up with the data flow… not software per se. What are you using as a scratch disk and what format of HDV have you shot? How is the drive formatted?The capture utiltiy used to be on Apple’s site, but it’s not there anymore… Still I think that you should fix the problem so you can capture in FCP… sure would make things easier, right?

    Jerry,

    Thanks for the ideas. I am running Final Cut Studio 5.1.2
    I’m using an internal 250gb Maxtor hard drive (2nd hard drive, not my boot drive) as my scratch disk.
    I’ve shot 720/24p HDV on a JVC GY-HD110u camera.
    The drive is formatted as MAC OS Extended (Journaled) with 2 partitions.

    Any suggestions as to what I could do to get past this issue?

    Thanks,

    Ben Brodbeck

    I’ve had problems with Journaled drives. I’d start be restriping as Mac OS Extended.
