it's a sample rate issue.
could be the tape was shot with audio set to 12bit (32khz)
my experience of this was kind of weird, but i'll relate it anyway.
i got this message when we had some 32k audio, and i had set the capture settings to 32k.
should have worked right?
but i got that long "validating audio data" warning.
it was somehow re-processing, or at least "validating" the audio in the clip,
but it took as long as the clip to do it!
so a 30 min capture took 30 minutes to validate!
eventually it finished and the audio was out of sync anyway,
so i switched to 48k capture setting,
and everything went fine.

I just looked on the drive, and the media is all there.
i missed that.
what happens when you bring it into FCP?
