Re: Help! What is this error message?

First of all, your startup disk should NEVER be your capture scratch disk. NEVER. Especially when you have 3 other disks to choose from. It's just begging for trouble. I don't know that it's responsible for your "low system memory" error, but it's a good thing to take care of right off the bat.

Also, the amount of free space isn't as important as the percentage of your disks that are free. Once they get over about 80% full, problems can start popping up. I'm sure someone else will chime in about the error message, but FCP is pretty picky about system configuration and, like I said, not enough free space is asking for trouble. Hope that helps a little.
