    dc,

    Check your capture settings, if that doesn’t help, trash your prefs.

    Have a wonderful day.

    In addition to Chris’ good suggestions…

    Make sure your Capture Now is set to “Limit Capture Now to… 30 minutes or less.

    Better yet, LOG an in-point and out-point on your selected clips and then use “Batch Capture”.

    Many do not have good results with Capture Now.

    Another way is to use FCP Rescue, which is a free and very good app.

    Have a wonderful day.
