We're digitizing from an XL-H1 for the first time. We shot 24F NDF Freerun. We're digitizing over firewire to an imac with FCP 5.1.2 onto a G-Raid drive. We're using the 1080P24 easy setup. The footage shows up fine, but we it stops digitizing every 5 to 20 seconds and makes a new clip. We got halfway through a tape and realized we had 200 clips in the bin. Does anyone know what would cause this?

Update: Now, it says "Stream Problem. Capture was stopped due to a problem with the incoming stream...." We have tried multiple tapes.

FWIW, DVRack breaks the video input into a large number of small files if the CPU is overwhelmed. Closing all but the necessary subwindows gives the CPU some headroom and fixes the problem.

Best,

We got the problem to go away, but we're not sure how. I'll post again if I discover what the issue was.
