thanks for that. I’ll look into it.

I presume there’s no way, but the long way round in FCP?

[Duncan Hill]

That’s great Brendan, thanks for your help.

Thanks for the feedback.

I’ve already checked the disks for errors and all is fine with both the G raid and my desk top computer.

The drive is 70% full – but as I said before, it works fine on my laptop, but not on my desktop, so I’m thinking it must be a computer issue???

I’ve now also swapped the power supply unit, still no joy.

Any other thoughts???

Thanks
Duncan

Thank you for enlightning me Tom. I must say, what a terrible feature, what is that point in that?

Next problem…When I try to capture native HD, my FCP crashes completely with an error sayng FCP quit unexpectedly. Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this problem? I am using FCP version 5.

Thanks again!
