Missing timecode??
I am trying to capture video by logging and batch capturing, but after setting in and outs and then log, the clip show in the bin as starting at 00:00:00:00, Making the deck search for nowhere essentialy!
I have trashed prefs and done the ol restart and pray, but still the same. the oly way i can capture is to do a capture now and manually roll the deck. Even then the TC still readws 0 after capturing on the fly!?!
Any ideas on why this is happening and what i could do to fix this miserable thorn would be greatly apprecieated.

Maybe its not FCP this time. I used to work in a college and this happened alot. Are you using mini DV in a Sony DVCAM deck by chance? Was the footage shot with a Canon camera? I’ve had trouble playing back footage from Canon equipment in Sony decks, especially if the Canon is a bit old and tired. It could be a head clog issue maybe? Does the deck see the timecode at all? I’ve also seen this with “recycled” DV media.

Sony mini DV deck and footage from a sony pd150
the deck see and reads and displays TC and also acts like you can log letting you set ins and outs
What do you mean head clogg, like dirty heads, or dirty tape?
Suppose its Quicktime 9 upgrade??
I had digz two hours yesterday, then last night this started -
I doubt it was a Quicktime 9 upgrade since they just released version 7. HAHA. No, what Sony deck are you using? Has the tape been used more than once? When is the last time either the deck or the camera had a head cleaning?

you got me…its late, long day
its a sony video walkman dv-d1000
Maybe due for a cleaning, but that is wierd, all the other functions work
the camera on the other hand is hard to say, wasnt my shoot or gear!
but tape looks/ sounds clean
thanks reading! -
I’m guessing that heads may be dirty on that little guy. Try a cleaning and give it another go. It could be a wonky FW cable too. Sounds like you tried the software solution to the problem. Best of luck!
