Ya i tried to capture with 1080i several times. The deck started cranking on the drums and eventually it would spit out the tape with the “Bad Drum” error. The deck would play the tape fine so I know the deck was setup properly. It was on the Final Cut / Kona side. But I tried everything… I have never had a problem w/ any HD capture w/ HD CAM SR. I actually updated the Kona software right before this project. In the capture window I could see the footage but it wouldnt lock and it was VERY jumpy. I couldnt capture anything… it would drop frames immediatley.
Basically the tape would run fine in the deck until i launched Log and Capture. And then everything would start freaking out… unless I had the proper setting…
