Thanks Neal, Yes FCPX and OSX.7, But I have had FCPX since its release and it has coexsisted with FCP7 just fine. I was holding off doing the restore in hopes that someone had an answer but it looks like I will have to bite the bullet.
Thanks again
Dave

Hey Gary
This was our solution. we would capture three cameras doing dvc pro
hd 720p60 (59.94) going through a time code generator then to three
decks. sometimes on capture we would get your same message you get and
on recaptures we would get the other message in my post.
After weeks of pulling our hair out and coming up with different
theory’s, we called in Larry Jordan to trouble shoot out system.
Here is what we came up with.
the people that set up our system, set the time code generator to drop frame.
hd is non drop frame,so the pre sets in FCP are for non-drop
I thought 59.94 meant that it was drop frame I found out that this is
not the case.
Because the time code generator was forcing drop frame time code on
the tape and we had our setting at 720p, final cut thought we were
capturing non-drop frame. that is why we were getting the message at
the end of capture.
Final Cut was looking for non drop and when the drop frame came it it
got confused.
I hope this helps
Dave
