Hi John.
I am not getting drop frames, what I get is a frame that jumps up. So it is strange. I timed yesterday and it is not constant or in the same places. I am starting tho think that there is problem with FCP itself and I might need to reinstall it. I sent the Decklink card to Blackmagic and they tested it. I reinstalled all the drives for the card and I had my deck service. It is not the deck because it plays fine when I don’t have the capture window open, and it is not the deck. Can it be the cable that controls the deck? The RS-422 Connection? I will have to find another cable.
I have changed the settings of the capture, and still no luck. What is strange is that if I play the tape without FCP open, it runs fine, as soon as I open the log and capture window the problem starts.
