Can't Capture more than 10 minutes or so before the window freezes

Using Final Cut Express 2
Camera feeding is a Hi-8 Sony DCR-TRV120 NTSC (non Hi Def)
Troubles started (I think) after I upgraded my OS System to 10.5.6
I hadn't used this program in a while.
Things seem to go as they used to when I was capturing video, but after 10 minutes or so (this part is not consistant), the capture window freezes with no message while the source video on the camera plays on.
I have tried changing my cable
I have tried using a different camera, my friend's Hi-8 Sony DCR-TRV140 NTSC (basically a better version of my camera)
I tried trashing the entire program and all related files and doing a complete re-install, but this didn't solve the problem.
Any advice?

Are you by any chance using an external Hard Drive that is not formatted with Mac OS Extended ?
With regard to re-installing etc. have you checked out this article:-

  • HT4314 Can I have more than one Game Center account on the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up?

    I am playing Clash of Clans on my iphone and on my iPad. I would like to connect each of my games to a different Game Center ID so I don't lose them if something happens to my device, but I can't figure out how to do that without creating new Apple IDs for each device and I don't want to do that. Any advice? Can I have more than one Game Center account under the same Apple ID? If so, how do I set it up? Thanks!

    If you use the same account see the following to separate Messages and FaceTime between the two iPod see:

    As long as the profiles are different (ex. HID vs AD2P) you will not have any issues. But say if you try to use 2 keyboards at once, it won't work. Or 2 headsets at once. Your scenario seems fine.

  • How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?

    How can I see more than 6 all day events in the week view without scrolling?  I need to see all of my all day events at once.  I use this for scheduling and comparing of # invoices.  Going back and forth to scroll is cumbersome.  I just want to be able to expand the top section so I can see everything at once.

  • Can't record more than 2 minutes

    Hi,
    I'm trying to record from a minidisc to garageband to then convert to mp3. For some reason, garageband won't record for more than 2 minutes when I need it to record for 2 hours! Please does anyone have any ideas? I'm in a rush to get this done but can't seem to solve the problem.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm about to try again, but the last couple of times I tried, the red light in the record button was no longer read, there still seemed to be something scrolling (sorry for lack of technical terms), but no information recorded. Scrolling back, I could see that the red block (recorded data) had stopped at 2 mins.
    Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

  • Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone from the same MacBook pro?

    Can I update more than one iPad and iPhone to ios 5 from the same MacBook pro? Our family has one MacBook pro and several iphones and ipads.  No one wants to lose their iTunes music or contact list or calendars.

    Yes, but you will want to think it through before you do it.
    The computer will become the "master" device, holding the definitive collection of music, photos, contacts, etc., and each iPad or iPhone will get a copy of what's on the computer. So if  everyone has different collections of music or photos that you all want to keep separate from each other, you'll want to set up different accounts on the MacBook Pro. To do that, go into "System Preferences" and click "Users", then click the "+" to create a new account for each person who needs their own set of files.
    That way you can each log in to your own MacBook account before you sync your iPhone or iPad, and everyone has their own copy of iTunes and their own iPhoto. If you happen to plug in an iPhone while logged into someone else's account, you just click "don't sync" (the 1st time only, it will remember after that). Sharing the same files becomes tricky, so this is only the best method if you want to keep things 100% separate.
    On the other hand, if you all have your music and photos mishmashed together on the MacBook anyway or just don't care about keeping things separate, just go ahead and sync your iPhones and iPads without setting up new accounts. But in this case, you should create playlists and photo albums in iTunes and iPhoto. Then plug in an iPhone, click on it's icon in iTunes, and change the settings for Music, Photos, etc to only sync the playlists that you want on that device. Repeat for each one. They'll all remember their own settings, and continue to sync with their designated playlists or albums.
    What you cannot do is use more than one computer with a single iPhone. That will wipe out the music and photos that were on it already, replacing them with the ones on the second computer.

    Hi Shyam,
    I really dont understand what you have asked?
    If your question is can we start more than one database at the same time then the answer to that is yes but provided to have enough resources on your server to support running of two or more different databases on the same machine.

  • Can not upload more than 15 minutes to youTube

    My YouTube account allows me to upload a movie longer than 15 minutes, but iMovie 11 will not allow me to go beyond 15 minutes.  I have to export the movie to my hard drive then upload it to youTube from my hard drive.  Is there a way to get around this seemingly iMovie default?

    I think I can speak for most here when I say it's usually better to Export to HD, then upload to YT. Most everyone has had issues w/ iMovie's YT Upload function. I just don't bother w/ it anymore. I have the same "greater than 15 min." approval on YT and recently uploaded a 40 minute vid. w/ no problem.

  • Can I have more than one version of Reader on the same machine?

    I'm running Reader 8 because I like the user interface better than the more recent versions.  I'd like to also install the latest version only for some integrated tools that require it for use with AIR.  Can I have both installed?  I don't see any options when I try to download and install the latest versions (like where to install the software.  Ideally I'd like Reader 8 to be my default application to open .pdf documents.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gabor

    C F,
    Thanks for the reply.  In the meantime I have found that my integrated tools (Xilinx Document Navigator) allow me to open documents externally using any version / brand of reader.  It's not quite as nice as seeing the documents in the tool's own windows, but it's a good enough option for me given the relative infrequency I use this tool.  If I decide to try to integrate the Document Navigator with Adobe Reader, I might get away with using Reader 10.  Is there an app note on installing more than one version, or is this so "not recommended" that I'm on my own if I want to try it?
    Regards,
    Gabor

  • Can't press more than 2 directional arrows keys at the same time

    I just noticed that in the Macbook Pro Retina that I bought recently there's no way to press more than 2 arrow keys at the same time, or at least the system does not seem to handle it.
    All other keys can be pressed at the same time without any problems, so I think that the problem affects only the arrow keys.
    I'm surprised that in a modern computer can exist this type of limitation
    I think Apple should update the system to allow this - car gamers like me will thanks or feel less disappointed...
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    Uninstalled everything PA, also uninstalled mangler which was the only thing that depended on PA. It didn't work anyway.
    No pulseaudio --kill command so I couldn't run.
    Checked systemd journal and there is no mention of PA this time.
    Checked top, and grepped ps aux and there is no PA there either.
    I also rebooted the machine completely just to make sure. However VLC and HTML5 have the same incompatibilities.

  • Can takes from more than one track be comped at the same time?

    Greetings,
    I know that this question has been asked recently in this forum (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9527542&#9527542), but I don't think that the respondents completely understood the question... Or perhaps I did not understand the suggested solutions to the problem. I will ask the question in a slightly different way...
    Suppose that I record guitar with 2 microphones (a pickup mic, and a room mic). The first microphone is recorded onto track 1, the second microphone is recorded onto track 2. Multiple takes are done in this manner. When it comes time to comp the tracks, how is it done? Can the takes from more than one track be comped together at the same time? I have tried to do this by grouping both tracks together, but it does not work.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you.

    You had the right idea grouping the tracks together. You must make sure that in the group settings, the box titled "region selection (edit)" is checked. This will allow you to make the same cuts (or in this case, swipes) on all regions in the group.
