USB is not recommended for video editing. Get urself a Ext. FW drive.
If u don’t have prores – choose dv50

Always rip to a mov file w/ FCP.
Use Mpeg StreamClip and rip to a DV 720 X 480 Lower fields 29.97 fps
It’ll play just fine IF:Don’t put media on the same drive as ur OS. Use a second internal Hard Drive or several of them stripped or a External Raid or Firwire drive for your media.

Then turn on deck. Boot up comp.

In past versions of FCP if your project file got to big, like 90MBs plus – it really started to protest, crashes and the like.
