G3 Mac OS 9.x FCP 1.2.5 and Lacie d2 Extreme at DVinfo.net

Andre Bentlage · November 23rd, 2005, 11:29 PM

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

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:
