many thanks for the quick reply David, however, I now have a feeling it is the drive that has a problem as I just ingested 22 clips of video to the same drive, tried to open the QT files, same message as before comes up. They play fine in the browser window which is weird. Now I am transfering/restoring, via disk utility, all the original files from one drive to another, just as a test. I have two G-Tech drives that are exactly the same but with different Raid. I may have to get the NZ supplier to copy the material to their drives and then thoroughly reset or replace the faulty ones. I have no idea 🙂 if this makes any sense but it’s worth a try, cheers, Richard.

I found the QT Files, they all look good, correctly labelled but when I went to open them was told they were not Movie files and would not open. Any ideas, otherwise i will simply bite the bullet and start over, bugger 🙂

I also just ran into this issue. I was happily capturing clips from DV tapes via my Sony M10U Deck, Easy Set up is all DV PAL, I was doing fine and all the clips I managed to capture play back just fine. I will try trashing preferences and run Disk Utility, which I do often. Made no difference trashing preferences or running permissions. I captured 22 clips, no issues and then, voila, very frustrating. I am on a pre-intel Mac and so cannot upgrade my FCP! Any thoughts please?

thanks Alto, whew, that is some read, a bit beyond my brain I am afraid. i guess I will back up the project, save to another drive, delete everything on that drive, give it a clean via techtool and redig, see you all in a month or so 🙂

yep, like my brain they continue to spin, yep, Disk Warrior, everything I can think of . . . I guess I am putting off the inevitable, redigitize! thanks for all your thoughts though, Richard.

many thanks Shane, I am sort of coming to that conclusion myself, bite the bullet and spend the time on uncompromised media and then make sure I have a back up. I will check out Raid5, cheers, Richard.

thanks shane, yes, all my tapes are available and the project file was saved to my backup drive, I just never gave it a thought to back up the media. So if the worst comes i can simply spend the . . . time to re-ingest. Bugger 🙂

thanks Tom, basically they gave me another serial number which worked just fine and now FCP Studio 2 is up and running, I am about to attach a HD deck and record some footage. Of course straight after this problem was fixed I found all the disks from FCP Studio 1, DUH! But the whole process of dealing with Apple care Support was awesome.
