Tiger Igniter X Qt 7 FCP 4.5 not working properly with uncompressed material

Hi, I've just upgraded my system to Tiger 10.4.1, Quicktime 7.0.1, FCP 4.5, Igniter drivers to 6.4.2, Igniter X, ATTO UL3D, Dual G4 Quicksilver an I am having some problems;
Presets changed, on easy setup I've lost all the Igniter Uncompressed presets, now I get some Cinema tools, lot's of DV's,Offline HD and Offline NTSC. The only presets I have are Uncompressed 10 bit NTSC and 8 bit NTSC. But when I try to capture, on capture presets I only get Generic Capture Template, and when trying to change this to capture uncompressed i get "codec error: the image frame size may not be supported", this is when I change the generic capture template and select any uncompressed codec with 720*486 frame size. So I can't capture uncompressed material. The only way of capturing 720*486 is using Aurora MJPEG codecs, but this is compressed. In summary I've lost the ability to work with uncompressed material. Even uncompressed projects made before the upgrade wont playback on my external monitor, is as if the uncompressed codecs with 10.3 are different to the 10.4 codecs, they shoul be compatible, correct?
Any help will be appreciated, if continue to not working I would have to go back to 10.3.9.

The uncompressed options should not have changed. You might need to toss your QuickTime prefs and reboot. Also, try clicking "restore factory defaults" in the Ignition pref pane. The presets we provide all begin with "Aurora IgniterX...". All the others are included by Apple.

Thanks for such a fast response.
I tried tossing my QT preferences and "restoring factory defaults" and nothing, still not able to capture uncompressed. This are my settings:
SEQUENCE PRESETS
Frame Size: 720 x 486 Pixels
Editing Timebase: 29.97 fps
Field Dominance: Lower (Even)
Pixel Aspect Ratio: NTSC - CCIR 601 / DV
Anamorphic 16:9: Off
Video Processing: YUV allowed (8-bit)
White Point: White

Okay.. Your settings all look correct (except maybe for the fact that you're doing a 10-bit capture from S-Video on a card with 8-bit analog components :-).
Please check your "Ignition" panel "General" tab, and verify that Uncompressed is listed as an available feature. If it's not, perhaps the card is not being properly identified.

Yes it is supported, in fact I was capturing UC wit no problems before I upgraded everything.
The problem I get is with the frame size with UC, at this frame size (720*486) with Aurora MJPEG A everything is fine
Do you think I should reinstall FCP?
Drivers 6.4.2 are supported with FCP 4.5? I only get info for FCP 5

Hi I've just trashed FCP prefs and I'm able to capture UC 8 bit extreme with no problems. Still not able to capture 10 bit extreme (same error; frame size) but it's ok, at least 8 bit is working
Thanks for your help
you guys are fast and helpfull as usual
