Pink and green hash on capture…
Hi –
Am I losing my mind? (okay, that’s a separate question!)
I am capturing a bunch of very short clips. All seemed to be
going well. However, apparently about half way through the process
something WENT HORRIBLE WRONG!The ends of most of these clips turn from normal video to a sort of
alternating green and pink video hash. I am using a CineWave card
and importing from Beta as YUV. I tried deleting the clips and trying
again, and the same thing happened. I am capturing to an external drive,
but it has tons of space on it. Is it possible that it can’t keep up
with the capture, for some reason?Any help would be great.
Thanks
Ron

What OS/QT versions are you running? Have you updated or upgraded any software recently?
-
I am getting that also. Are you using OS 10.4.5? This may be the problem.

Haven’t changed anything recently. Still on FCP 4.5 running OS X 10.3.4 and QT 6.5.1
This just happened halfway through my capture session this morning. Clips I did up until a certain point we fine, then this bizarre problem cropped up.
I did have a crash in between, so perhaps I should trash my preferences and see if that fixes things… Other than that, I’m baffled.

This is apparently a drive-related issue. Someone had hung a new Maxtor drive on the system and it, for whatever reason, was unable to capture correctly. In the meantime I’ve gone back to my HUGE raid and all is well.
Thanks for the ideas…

Sweet! Was this an internal drive or a firewire drive?
-
It was an external Maxtor firewire job. It is new and is the first thing on the chain of a couple of drives. There is a chance that this is related to whether it’s set for RAID 0 or RAID 1 – something I have yet to check.
