Anything miniDV with a firewire output will work.
For the rock bottom cheapest way, I’d look for an old Canon Elura at a flea market, or on craigslist. It should be $20 or so. That’s not a very good idea.
Still cheap is the Canon VX30. Does miniDV and HDV.

This is the ugly side of capturing full tape loads – if the ingest fails, you’re out 40+ minutes.
I’ve been in your situation before – its rough, and can take some experimenting to find effective solutions.
A couple things to check –
1. Is the range of timecode that you are attempting to capture a valid range for the tape? If the capture hits the end of tape, it will bomb it out.
2. Try capturing one tape at a time, rather than batching a whole list of tapes. That way, if a capture goes bad, you only lose that tape.
3. Try using head cleaner on your camcorder, or consider renting a deck. Camcorders are not designed for hours of playback on a daily basis. And a dropped frame will cause the condition that you are experiencing.
4. Consider using the media manager to re-ingest your current timeline, rather than all of your source footage. If this is practical, it can save you a lot of time.
Does this happen sporadicly, or just with a certain tape?

I’d just perform your edit, then when finished, collapse the multiclips, then correct the 4:3 camera.
Using “Find All” and “paste attributes”, this should take seconds.

Sounds like something went wrong when you transcoded the .avi’s to pal DV quicktimes.
I’d suggest running the current quicktimes through compressor to be sure that they end up at 25fps PAL DV files.
Its essential when using multicam that all files have matching formats.

Hi – Don’t partition the drive. Even if its partitioned, your media is on the same physical drive. That’s what matters.

If the settings mismatch, its most likely is that the file just happens to have the same name as the file you’re looking for.
If you deleted the files, and they went offline, you’ll have to re-ingest.
Sorry.
