Thanks Rafael, I was hoping to do that at some point anyway.

For now I think I have solved the problem…. I was digitising to an external hard drive which connects from s3200 to firewire 400 into my mac. Whilst it managed the first tape fine, for some reason, as i said, it was struggling with any subsequent tapes. So I changed the scratch disk settings from my external drive back to the mac and hey presto – all going in fine!

Only thing is now when I try and drag the files back onto the hardrive to work with, it cannot read them! SO I will have t finish this project using my Mac’s memory. Don’t know what is up with the hard drive, but I am just glad it doesn’t seem to be FCP’s fault…… this time!

Thanks again Rafael
