No luck running the camera's FW through the drive. It worked for 5 minutes and then gave me an error message.

chris,
i'm trying the camera>fw drive>computer configuration right now, and i've successfully captured 31 of 33 clips. the two errors were what has happened before: missing the in point and FFing to the end of the tape. however, changing the in-point on the troublesome clip solved the issues, and it's doing fine. 2 out of 33 is WAY better than every single clip multiple times. Also, i ran a DV cleaning tape through there for about 10 seconds before i started recording. don't know if the cleaning tape, the wacky configuration, or plain old luck as to why it's working a lot better. so, let me try the same thing with some other tapes and see what happens....fingers crossed -gardy |

Disconnected all FW going into my G5. Set all the footage to go to an internal drive and was able to capture 55 minutes of unbroken footage. I then transferred the footage to an external drive. Kind of a PITA work-around but my goal of capturing without breaks has been met. I wish Canon or Apple would do something about this.

hey again,
so after a few more days shooting and capturing, i'm still going strong with the cam>fw drive>computer config. don't know why it works, but gosh darn it, it's working. out of the past 4 tapes, only 2 instances of it missing the timecode in-point, and that got fixed by changing my in-point to a second earlier on those clips. so, as of now, this is the way i'm gonna run it. thanks for your "crazy" suggestion chris - it's solving me lots of hair pulling. -gardy |
