Wondering if anyone can chip in a word or two of advice.. here is my situation.

I shot some footage SD 24PA footage with my HD100 back in June... now I am trying to capture some of it and I am getting a lot of breaks in the footage
during capture. When I say "breaks" I mean one or two frames where several different color square blocks show up on the screen, and the audio is lost for maybe a second. It is curious because when I view/play the tape on the BR-HD50 through the monitor (the through the video line out port/audio out) I dont encounter this. I tried switching firewire cables but no change.

Also, when I am capturing in the new Final Cut, with my newly installed BR-HD50 firmware... it does this wierd thing I have not seen before when I am using "Capture Now". When it hits certain points (which must be "breaks") the deck starts doing this thing where it says it is "Jog -3" "Jog +3" and "Still" mode as if cueing the tape... and then Final Cut stops capturing and starts again with a new clip once the BR-HD50 starts rolling ... (note: I have not done anything during this process).

Anyway, does anyone have any input on how I might avoid these "breaks" - or whether they even exist, given their absence on the monitor when I am playing back the tapes without FCP control. I had thought that it was a faulty firewire cable, or that I needed the radiowave filter, but I replaced the firewire and put on the core filter and nothing much changed - although there were a few new instances of "breaks"

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

PEACE.

are any of these occuring where there are scene changes?

Have you tried capturing from the camcorder?
Whats the result of that?
