YES!! This solution just saved me from insanity. We upgraded our editing systems a few months ago and switched from FCP7 to Adobe Premiere Pro, and in the move hadn’t gone back in to FCP and changed the default Easy Setup from NTSC to PAL (we are in Australia), so when I had to do some work on an old project, all the polished audio files had drifted from the raw audio linked to the video. Changing the Easy Setup to PAL and restarting as described above solved it. Thanks guys!

UPDATE: I went back to using the Canopus A/D, and in AUdio/Video Settings changed the capture device to “non-controllable device” (it had been firewire basic) and so far it’s working. Why “firewire basic” worked perfectly for 20 tapes and then stopped working, I do not know…

Chris- lots of space- 1.8TB free. Have tried a reboot with no success.

Rafael- I’ll try that shortly. We have two MAcPro workstations so I might also try the same Io capture set up on the other machine and see if that isolates the problem.

It’s not particularly relevant but just so you know, this is an archiving project to get content from Hi8 tapes into a digital format for archive. We’re not working on the files. We’re using the internal RAID 0 (rather than our XSAN) because as soon as the file is ingested I send it to archive on LTO4 (via PresStor to Quantum Scalar); and our CatDV catalogue. Once that process is complete, and when the RAID 0 gets full-ish, we’ll just wipe the RAID 0 files.

Thanks Nick–I had basically resigned myself to having to do that, but thanks very much for the feedback. At least I know i wasn’t overlooking a simple solution.

Alexander: QT 7– I agree QT X is terrible and we don’t use it.
