FCE freezing up during capture
 

it has happened 6 times in the last hour
trying to captrure footage
fimed with Xh-A1
capturing with HV-30

at about a 3? min mark it freezes and says capturing stopped ????
I have to force quit the program to get it to do anything

Same footage in the same place? Do you have the capture drives near full?

80 gig free
It freezes in totally differant places

Were your cameras powered on battery or on AC? Make sure they are on AC when capturing. Batteries with too many charging cycles on them or closer to the end of their operating lives normally can't sustain the level of the required voltage while being drained by high-powered devices like lights, firewire capture etc.

Check if your capture disk runs at 7,200 rpm. Or try reinstalling the application.
