Thank you so much for your input so far. I would like to correct myself too and say it’s the “Mac Mini”, the mid 2010 models we are looking at. I was handed a piece of paper that had “mini Mac” and the specs written on it. We are also using FCP 5.1.4 currently (yes I know it’s old) but I think that might also be an advantage because I wouldn’t think the minimum requirements are as demanding as say FCP 7. Thank you again for your help.

Thank you very much. We are in a similar situation with the camera not being in my possession at the moment. Your answer helps verify what I suspected and I am having the camera sent to us so I can check it out. I really appreciate your response. It helped me justify getting the camera back.

I am having the same issue. When the tape is played back, the audio is fine. When it is captured, you can see blank spaces in the audio in the waveform editor. We have tried to capture with 2 different decks, direct from the camera, 3 different computers, 2 were Mac Pro’s running FCP 5.1 and one was a PC. I wasn’t there for the PC attempt but I believe it was using Adobe Premiere and Sony Vegas. Other tapes from other cameras work fine. I’ve also tried quite a few of the capture presets in FCP 5.1 including 32Khz & 48Khz as well as non controllable device preset just in case it was some kind of time code issue. The drop outs always occur in the same spots about every second or so. I have searched the new for answers and so far, I have only found people with this issue but no one has posted an answer. I was wondering if the previous poster ever found an answer to this. We do monitor the capture with monitors hooked up to the decks. At this point I suspect it is an issue with the camera although it has never given us an issue before. The weird thing is the audio sounds fine until it is captured so I’m not sure how we can know this is an issue while we film before we get the tape to the studio.
