    I am trying to grab video in FCP with my Canopus ADVC110… I just hooked up a brand new 250G drive and set it as my capture drive. Yet when I try to capture I get a message saying the capture drive is too full….. hmmmmmmm

    don’t get it…

    any clues?

    Hello

    Can you provide any more info about your system? And is the new drive internal or external?
    Did you format the drive after you installed it? Also, did you get that error message from the very
    beginning or did you by chance have it lock up on you when you first tried capturing.

    thanks
    Chad

    1) Set a limit on Capture Now. Never have that box unchecked. Set it to 60 min if you want the whole tape.

    2) Do not under any circumstances run any anti-virus/filesaver software. Including Norton and Virex. Sure, Apple doles out Virex for free, but FCP doesn’t cooperate with it very well.

    If you absolutely feel you must keep Virex installed on your system then use Kevin’s script to shut it off before you use FCP:

    3) Do not capture to your main system drive.

    4) Check the format of the drive you are capturing to. It should be Mas OS Extended, jornalling off. If it isn’t, copy your files from it and re-initialize it. If it is any other format, you will encounter problems. If not at first, then eventually.
