Hi,
When I capture HDV footage on FCP 7, every 7 minutes aprox. I receive a messagge: "Capture was aborted due to drop frames".
On User settings I checked the option: "Make new clip on time breaks" and the option of ABort capture is UN-checked. Why is it not created the new clips?.
Connection: FireWire 4pin from the camera Canon Vixia HV-30 to the Mac Pro 9pin.
The curios thing is that Before (when I didn't have a FW cable 4-9) I use the Canopus AVC-300 like hub, because I only had a 6pin to 9pin and 4 to 4, but No 9 to 4. And at that time I never had this isuues of drop frames. I could just leave the equipment working on the capture for 60 miunutes with peace in mind. Now, I have to check the capture every 10 minutes if not every 20 seconds...
Maybe the Canopus has something like Time Base corrector? Now when I have the 4 to 9 pin (direct), I face this issue.
Somebody could say: "OK. If the canopus-Hub works good, keep on using it but I would like to know what I might be doing wrong so even when I have now direct connection via FireWire between my camera and the Mac, this drop frames problem arises. Opinions really appreciated.
