Yet ANOTHER HDV capture issue...
Ok, I'm truly at my wits end! I searched through the forums for about an hour and a half and didn't find anything on this issue. A friend asked me to capture his HDV footage. "No problem!" I said. "I have an A1 myself so I capture HDV into FCP all the time! As a matter of fact, FCP6 will separate it each time you hit Start/Stop! Consider it done!" *more and more promises* . . . . Two weeks later, still not done.... Here's the setup:
I have six (RECYCLED dv!) tapes that a buddy of mine used to capture some HDV footage on an A1. Each tape has 30-45 mins of footage. After much frustration, I discovered, through this forum, that it won't separate the clips at Start/Stop because the clock was not set. Cool, I can deal. Then the TRUE problem began... I hit capture now and it goes through the capture process but never puts a file in the logging bin OR in the Capture Scratch folder. The same result with loggin and batch capturing. Am I missing something here? All Scratch Disks and Logging Bins are set up correctly. I just did the most recent ProApps update but I would think if it was the update, I would have been able to find someone with a similar problem by now. It's driving me nuts... Any help would be MUCH appreciated! *bows to the dvinfo gods* |

A couple of thoughts.
1. When I capture HDV I first have to hit the play button and then Capture "Now" 2. What options did you use for your "Capture Preset" and your "Device Control Preset" (under Audio/Video settings in the Final Cut Pro menu) 3. Have you trashed preferences?

Also in the Log & Capture window under "Clip Settings", make sure you've checked the boxes for Audio and Video.

Just a thought, might not have anything to do with your situation, but this was brought to my attention when I was having issues with FCP refusing to capture longer clips: my scratch drive was not properly formatted, and when the file size exceeded 4gb, FCP simply trashed the capture. I had to reformat my scratch so it was Mac OS Extended+Journaled.

I'm having this same problem...but with brand new tapes. It goes all the way though the capture process just fine..but at the end of the tape it brings up a general error and I have no captured video. I know its not the drive because I've captured to this drive before.
Any one figure this out? Jeremiah |

I've never captured an entire tape as one long clip though, if that's what your doing? Also I think FAT32 is a 4 gig limit. |
