I’ve really only tried command/option escape and unplugging. I would rather NOT do this but I really am more worried about my project and diagnosing whether the problem is with FCP or Tiger or something else. Like I said I tried using another device to log and capture from (a PD150) and came up with the same problems. I dubbed the tape straight through and FCP still kept detecting time code breaks. Today I tried the “assembled” (dubbed) tape on another computer and that computer picked up one time code break and then had no problem with the rest of the capture. All other software on my G5 allows me to force quit. Only FCP5 gives me trouble. My next idea is to capture with an older powerbook on 10.1 and FCP3 and then send the file over to the G5. Of course that still doesn’t solve the problem of having $4000 dollars worth of computer and software that can now double as a shoebox because it won’t work with FCP. Please give me reason to go on!
