FCP 4.5 Capture problem
Hi guys
I am trying to capture footage into fcp 4.5 when I get the message that "capture has encountered a problem reading the data on the source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. capture has been aborted and the clip has been saved. " However the tape is not the problem as I can play the tape in imovie. I even captured some in imovie and imported it into fcp no problem. I can capture up to a couple of minutes before I get this message. I believe it must be someting to do with settings. I am set up for firewire pal . I am using 2.3 G5 dual with 1 gb ram. Any suggestions would be appreciated Many thanks Gary |

Same Problem
Hey Gary did you ever come up with a solution to that problem? Because i am getting the exact same error message, and i have had no luck solving it. Its not a timecode issue , I know that, but it seems to be getting worse and its impossible to work at this point. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Brian
No I haven't found a solution yet but I have not been trying. I am just too busy at the moment that I have had to use imovie and prem pro on the pc. Hopefully I will have time over this weekend and if I find a solution I will let you know. Regards Gary |

response to capturing problem
Quote:
hey, guys, i've just run into this problem. i ended up capturing from the camera (an xl-2) directly to the hard drive. something i bought a deck to avoid doing. but it worked. now i want to figure out what the problem is so i can avoid this error in the future. here is the Error Message i get from FCP when i try to capture this footage from my Sony dvcam deck: "capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. this could be due to a problem with the tape. capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved." i imagine it is a timecode issue, and will research this some more. |
