perpetual "validation" of audio data

I just lost all media on a long capture because the message "validating audio data," accompanied by a graphic, wouldn't end after several minutes. When I hit cancel, my clip appeared in the browser with a red slash through it. What went wrong here? Furthermore, I just looked on the drive, and the media is all there.

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 missed that.
what happens when you bring it into FCP?

In other words, by switching to 48k capture settings, I might be able to solve the problem in one fell swoop?

give it a go, see what happens.

some people get drifting sync when they capture with the wrong settings,
but its worked for me.
