  • Won’t Capture HELP!

    Posted by Martin Sterling on August 20, 2005 at 7:31 pm

    I am running FCP 4.5. on a G5. For the longest time, I have had difficulty capaturing from mini DV tape using my deck and Firewire. I am using Firewire 48khz NTSC settings. It would capture some of my clip, usually about a minute in, and then I would get a beachball and I have to shut down. I was only be able to capture when using noncontrollable device routing something like a DVD palyer through it. At that point I had 500MB of Memory. I Just got 2.5 GB of memory installed in my computer, but now I cant capture anything. The “preview disabled” screen just sits there when Im trying to see the tape or whatever I have routed. I never had this problem b4. What Should I do?

    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

    What camera are you capturing from? What version of OS are you running? Are you capturing to an external drive, or secondary internal? How was it formatted?
