Cant capture anymore

I created a FCP project for capturing a new tape using capture now (shot with my Somy Vx2000 in 16/9 (yes, I know many people dont like to cature using capture now, but it is a for a very simple job and always find it convenienct for qick jobs).
Unfortunately I forgot to set up the right capture settings to make it DV NTSC 48 KHz Anamorphic. It was just DV NTSC 49 KHz. After realising it, I closed FCP and erased through the Finder window the project from my FCP Project Directory as well as in the capture Scratch sub-directories.
I reopened FCP and corrected the audio/video settings to make the capture in DV Anamorphic.
I started to capture the tape, still using Capture Now, but after 4-5 seconds it stopped and I got the message : "Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This cold be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved".
I tried to create a new project name, and it did not solve the problem. I tried another tape, I tried to reboot the MacPtro, but I still have this problem and cant capture anymore.
Can someone help finding the source of the problem and how to solve it ?

Before playing around with the Power management Unit as you suggested after, I tested your idea of capturing as non anamorphic. And it worked !! But when I come back to the DV NTSC Anamorphic, the problems comes back.
You are right, we can turn on the anamorphic checkbox in the Browser, but the canvas windows looks funny. It is still shaped 4/3 but the image shows 16/9 with black strips on top and botton and exceeds the limits in the right and left sides.
But knowing that, how can I make my traditional settings work again (choosing in my audio/video settings both my sequence preset and my capture preset to be DV NTSC 48 KHz Anamorphic ?

  • Cant capture anymore xlh1 whats going on?

    I cannont get fcp2 and my xlh1 to communicate anymore, i get unable to initilise video deck. Nothing has changed in my settings, camera works fine on other peoples computers.
    I tried deleting quicktime in library and restarting ect, this has gone on now for 4 days, i have already lost 1 contract becasue of this bloody problem, can anybody help? im desperate.

    Upgrade OSX, QT or FCP recently? Often in upgrading the OS, QT or FCP for some odd reason QT will get knocked slightly off kilter. The usual solution it to force a full reinstall of QT.
    This is how:
    Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
    Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
    Run the Quicktime installer.
    Reboot
    Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
    Good luck.

  • Tv@nywhere Master - Cant capture higher than 352X288

    Hi
    I have a Tv@nywhere Master and i cant capture any higher that 352x288 resolution.
    I tryed VirtualDub and Adobe Premier . They both say : Unsuported Video Format when i try to select 640x480 or 720x576 . (PAL mode)
    The original software (MSIPVS) lets me choose the format and resolution but i dont want to use it because it offers poor quality.
    I am capturing from VHS at maximum quality possible and storing it in AVI uncompressed and then use TMPEGenc to SVCD.
    Can anyone comment on this ?
    Doesnt this board capture higher than 352x288 ???
    Thank you
    Filipe

    I use it in 768x576 without any problems
    you just have to look for a   Use Smart Tee Filter  setting because the card can`t both capture and preview over 288 so you`ll need to split the data on the Capture pin in order to provide preview over 288 lines.

  • Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore apple ids or and i cloud account

    Why does my ipad say i cant make anymore applie ids or an i cloud account abd how do i get an account HELP please !!!!!

    Hello, I had the same problem (repeatedly) until I did this, it works!
    Remove sim, very very lightly rub the sim card's contacts (the metallic parts) with a standard pencil eraser. I suspect its just a micro-residue from the manufacturing process interfering with complete contact. 

  • I cant publish anymore: unknown business catalyst error has occured: status 403, 107003

    i just accepted the new adobe policy and now i cant publish anymore. When i click on publish this error pops up: unknown business catalyst error has occured: status 403, 107003

    Hi, Aish,
    That cleared it up, thanks for the quick response. You might consider sending an email that lets users know of this issue. I would never have figured it out. I don't often log on to the main Adobe site.
    Best,

  • I have a Ipod 2nd gen and i am frustrated that i cant update anymore is there anyway to get temple run some how?

    Hey guys i want to donwload the original temple run for my ipod 2nd gen and it says i have to updat. But i cant update anymore so any way i can download it?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

  • Cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making  App Previews

    cant Capture Screen Recordings with QuickTime Player for making  App Previews
    went into that page:
    https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-previews/imovie/Creating-App-Previews- with-iMovie.pdf
    upgraded to quick time 7 pro
    got stuck here:
    " 4. In the window that appears, select your iOS device as the Camera and Microphone input source".
    the window appeared, no selection is possible

    The instructions in the Developer page you link contemplates that you are using the QTX version instead of QT7 Pro:
    vs.
    QT7 Pro does not allow selection of iOS devices as the Camera and Microphone
 input source.
    QTX is the QT version included with Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard and later.  However, as explained in the Developer page you linked above, if your Mac is not already using it, you need to upgrade to the current (OS X 10.10 Yosemite) OS X Version to use iOS devices as the recording sources in QTX.

  • If you cant capture

    if you cant capture your video because the timecode is screwed up just import into iMovie then drag and drop.
    hope this will be helpful to someone.

    lol... Z1user -
    Hey -did you enjoy Honolulu? (Maybe you never left!)
    Jskier:
    A better route is to turn the capture setting:Device setting to NON-CONTROLLABLE DEVICE. Just hit play on DV cam and CAPTURE NOW.
    You can stay in FCP. Hope this makes your life easier. Mark this topic as solved so other won't jump in to help you since you don't need it.

  • Cant sync anymore apps

    I have been able to sync apps before but now for some reason i cant sync anymore apps. I have all ready bought the apps but when i sync itunes says 'itunes has encounted a proble do you want to send a error report or not'
    Pleas help:)

    If you remove an app, can you sync it back on or is this just with new apps you purchase?
    Basic trouble shooting would include
    1)turn off pc
    2)disconnect all USB devices except mouse & keyboard
    3)turn pc back on
    4)disable all antivirus, spyware programs
    Before connecting ipod
    5) turn it off (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then slide the slider and then back on.
    6)plug it in using a different USB port than before
    Try those steps once and see if it resolves or at least gives a more specific error.

  • TS3991 I can't sign-in to my iCould account from my iPhone. The account is linked to an old email address that is closed and i cant access anymore. So that means that I can't reset the password!

    I can't sign-in to my iCould account from my iPhone. The account is linked to an old email address that is closed and i cant access anymore. So that means that I can't reset the password! However, I can access my iCould account from the website.
    I need help !

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID and that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • Can't capture anymore.. please help!

    hi,
    i've been using mdt 2010 in the last 4ish years to deploy several hundreds of machines. now due to some mysterious reason, capturing doesn't work anymore. the visible symptom is a error message containing something about the clonetag registry entry not being
    writeable. i hacked around this by regedit'ing the clonetag value back in, but the result was an image that doesn't join the domain. i also deactivated the "inject mass storage driver" step and the wmp net service, but no luck.
    i don't know why sysprep fails all of a sudden. all i did was update the image with a few software installations and updates. when i try to sysprep without saving the image to the mdt deployment share, it reports that it completed successfully. if i save the
    image, it reboots and continues with the deployment task. which fails with the clonetag error. i've tried it with and without installing the latest windows updates. the image size is around 10 gigs, free space on the ds is around 40 gigs. after an unsuccessful
    capture attempt, the local admin account is locked and the hidden system partition has a drive letter.
    please help me find the error..
    my logs are here (hopefully)
    thanks,
    haklinz

  • I cant add anymore video to my unfinished movie.  I can no longer see my clips at the bottom.  What do I do?

    I can't add anymore video clips to my unfinished IMovie! The clips at the bottom (my imported movies) are now not visible (gray).  I can view them when I scroll over them.  Why cant I add more?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • Losing Faith in Mac - Cant Capture HD in FC HD

    Why wont FCHD let me capture HD from my clients JVC-HDGY100 24p 720p Camera -' Whats the deal " need help client is geting ******- my fellow freelancer is useing sony vegas and its captureing fine (this shouldn't be) Please tell me what Im doing wrong so I can restore my clients faith in apple.

    Wow cant beleive Vegas is out in front of FC--- That *****
    I'm sorry, but I don't get how you can make that statement.
    First off, you didn't answer any of my questions...didn't confirm what version of FCP you are using and didn't mention what version of Vegas was being used.
    Second, Vegas is HARDLY in front of FCP. Name one company that uses Vegas for broadcast TV work...especially in HD. There are post houses in LA and NY that are entirely FCP based, Avid based....but not one that uses Vegas.
    Now, either answer the questions or you will be considered a Troll trying to tout Vegas over FCP.
    Vegas will lose.

  • Why can't I Apple+H hide Final Cut during capture anymore?

    I used to love hiding the big screen while it was capturing footage and I could get on with other stuff and see my desktop!
    For some reason it doesn't hide anymore?
    Anyone know about this?

    Now, there is a problem though, now Apple-H doesn't hide it! I just don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden? I can live with it but I preferred hiding Final Cut so I can see my desktop.
    Alex
    Hi Alex, very interesting. What version is your OS? Did this happen after an update to the OS? I can certainly understand your frustration when a function all of a sudden doesn't work as it use to, especially when it's a function that is suppose to work.
    Personally I don't do too many other tasks while capturing, but I will often switch over to check my email or something not very demanding upon my system. Yet, I have at times run some pretty heavy applications without any problems with my capture. So, I suppose it has a lot to do with installed memory and your processing power + fast drives. In any case, I understand what your asking here and will be anxious to see what other solutions you are offered.
