It doesn’t appear to to be an issue with the capture camera, I tried capturing w/my DVX100B and I get the same problem. It thinks the “media” is non-drop frame. I shot in drop-frame. (DF). By “media”, do they mean the tape, or my logging settings?

hmm…I analyzed the clip (Tools>Analyze>Clip) and it appears a frame was dropped. Could this have anything to do with the problem?

Thanks for the reply, I understand now how it works, but I’m not sure WHAT to do??? It looks as if FCP is not removing the advanced pull-down when capturing, even though I am using the pre-set for this? I tried removing the advanced pull-down after the clip has been captured and say it has a lower field dominance and 29.97 fps, but FCP does not detect any pull-down? Any ideas?

Okay, it doesn’t seem to have done anything. I had pull-down removal when I captured. Things seem okay.

Thanks,

Here’s my story:
When I first booted-up, everything was fine. But then later on I booted up again and it sounded like a jet engine! Lots of people are having this problem and it is because apple made a change in the hardware, so most of the G5’s out there sound like air-conditionings right now and/or are freezing. I later found out that this was because there was a bad batch made in dec ’04. The problem seems to ly in a change in the SMU on the logic board to make production of power macs cheaper. However, a few of them do work, and others start having the problem right out of the box. Some other people have had this problem occur after a few months of purchase, so it can really occur at anytime.
