I’m capturing footage off a HDV miniDV tape (1080i) from a Sony HVR-M10U onto a Lacie 500 Firewire drive. I don’t think it’s a slow processing speed or memory problem….but then again, at this point I’m not too sure about anything pertaining to this problem. This audio glitching problem occurs with normal audio (48hz 16 bit) captured from a music cd, in addition to HDV footage.
I have a 15″ powerbook 1.5GHz with 2Gb of RAM. I’m using FCP 5 with Tiger 10.4.2
