If you haven’t fix this, you should try to uncheck the media limits size and time.
What’s happening is that FCP is sending over a bunch of 2.9gig files to make sure the HD has the room. It’s a goof. Ran into it a lot with FCP 4.
Trash prefs
restart
trash bad files on HD
run Disk Utility and repair disk (just to make sure that you haven’t corrupted the TOC)
restart FCP – uncheck size limit.
Good Luck,
