Re: Capture Problems FCP

Hi

Thanks for your swift response, I have managed to capture the footage using the non controllable device settings, but I would still like to try and resolve the issue for the future.

I don't think it has anything to do with down converting as I have tried to capture DV footage with the same problems.

In answer to your questions; I not too sure if the Z1 and scratch drives are on the same bus. I'm editing on a G5 2 X 2.66 GHz Dual-Core 3GB RAM using an external drive for all the project files and scratch disks, with the camera plugged into a different fire wire connection.

My scratch drive is the external drive so not the system drive.


the Z-1 iLink down conversion menu item is set to ON

and FCP Easy Setup is an EXACT match of iLink down converted signal

Sorry about lack of technical knowledge but I'm looking into the idea of a fire wire conflict, is there anyway I can test this as it seems like a probable fault

Thanks
