Help needed!
Due to Tsunami, earthquakes, terror attacks this is a crazy year for me and never saw the chance to upgrade my system. Yesterday I bought the Lacie d2 Extreme because I have some documentaries coming up to edit.
The G3 recognizes the Lacie.
But if I want to log and capture, the windows opens but thats it it will not say: Capturing Clip-NOW CAPTURING(press "esc" to stop). The harddisk indicator in the left upper corner next to the applesymbol is running continiously. Pressing escape has no effect. I can only use the powerbutton to stop everything! After restarting again the Lacie is filled up to 250GB!! with around 140 av-137(this is an example) quicktime files.
Is there anaybody there who knows whats the problem?
Thanks
Andre

Is this site becoming too big?
Were are the real users of FCP and Apple?
I had no reply at all on my last posts!
Pfff....

Sorry I missed your post Andre. Unfortunately you're running software so old that I suspect few of us are familiar with the issues. I'm not sure if MacOS 9 can use volumes as large as your "big disk" (it would probably see the disk but not recognize the full size). I know there are issues in FCP 4 where a crash can cause a disk to appear to be full, see the following:

But I doubt this applies to MacOS 9. My own experience with FCP only goes back to version 3 on MacOS 9. Perhaps you should post your questions to Apple's FCP support forum here:
