FCP locks up system after 5 min digitize, fills scratch drive w 1 big file.

For some reason, FCP has developed a problem with capturing media that it didn't have before.
When doing Capture Now to the usual internal media 250 GB drive (not the Apps drive), after about 5.5 minutes (I think it's always the exact same duration) the picture in the Digitize Window freezes and the computer totally locks up requiring manual restart.
Once up and running again, I see that on the Capture Scratch drive, the clip I was attempting to create has taken up all remaining space on the target drive, even if it's around 200 GB. Naturally the file is corrupted and doesn't play. I have to go to that drive, trash the huge file and empty trash before I can digitize to that drive again.
For digitize durations under the five and a half minutes, seemingly everything works fine.
I have been using the same protocol for digitizing for years. Don't know what changed to cause this. Capture Now duration is limited to 30 minutes.
I tried digitizing to a different media capable drive (external) and the same thing happened there, so it doesn't seem to be a problem associated with the computer's media drive.

Here's the thread that explains what's happening.

I had it, you have it, It's due to a conflict between QT 7.3, ACP 4.5 and 10.3.9. I just finished doing a clean install and all that that entails. Now it's working again. Just don't use QT later than 7.2. I'm back to a 6.? version and it's working fine. When I reinstalled the system, it went back to that older version. I could download 7.2 and install, but not anxious to do it just in case, having become a devotee to iiabdfi (if it aint broke etc...). Next time I think I'll buy a medium capacity hard drive and do some carbon copy cloning. I gather that when you use ccc you're pretty much reformating your target drive, yah?

  • After Effects Fails to render due to a big file size?

    I recorded some video clips in a x264 codec (AVI) and well since i cant import them into AAE (it wont recognize them) i just did some editng wit sony vegas and  rendered the full video in 1080p uncompressed and it was about 20 GB's total. i added it into AAE to add some color corrections and RAM preview worked normally but when i tried to render it out in blu ray format it would fail within 4 seconds of rendering. i tried other formats and it wouldnt work i even tried to take off the color correction thinking that was it but still failed. is after effects not stable with such heavy file sizes?
    or could it be my ram isnt engough (3 gb's) im upgrading to more soon though.
    any help would be apreciated so i know what to do in the future thanks a lot.

    The total file size is not really relvant.
    The important part is the per frame memory usage.
    Which OS are you using? RAM starvation can be worse in Win XP 32, since the total available RAM for all applications combined is 2.7 GB.
    Try this - render the Comp to a lossless format (such as Quicktime Animation, huge file but you can delete it afterwards), and then close AE and launch Adobe Media Encoder in standalone mode and try to encode using your Blu-Ray preset from AME.

  • Job logs from the original system after Unicode conversion.

    Dear Globalization experts,
    We are doing Unicode conversion and would like to know, if the Job logs from the batch jobs, executed before conversion (system with a 1100 code page), would be readable  in the Unicode system after the conversion.  We will move job log files from the source to the target  system.

    Hi Alik,
    I have strong doubts that this will work ...
    From SAP notes 842767 and 901004 you can see, that spool data will not be converted properly by default.
    In general this is valid for data stored in TemSe, as this is by definition temporary data (see for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d9/4a8f9c51ea11d189570000e829fbbd/content.htm ).
    However I actually did not test it, so I am not 100% sure.

  • HT201487 My iPad is locked by iCloud after upgrade to system 8

    My iPad is locked by iCloud after an upgrade to system 8. I reset my password for my apple id and iCloud, but still cannot get into my iPad. The new password does not work on my iPad. What do I do next? This is ridiculous from an upgrade????

    I tried Apple Care, they would not give me to the Account Security Team, kept me on the phone for over an hour, and never did solve my problem. At the end of the call, my iPad was still locked.
    BUT I found this article and solved the problem myself:
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
    So all is well now. If this happens to you, follow the directions in this article!

  • IPad mini touch unresponsive after replacing digitizer.

    I just replaced an ipad mini digitizer. The home button works fine but the screen is completely unresponsive. I can get to the lockscreen but can't swipe or do anything. I tried doing the reboot by holding both buttons but same result. Please help.

    I guess I should have mentioned before that this is my second time replacing it. The first time there was a faulty digitizer and the home button wouldn't work. But the touch screen DID work. Now its flipped, my second time around fixing it the home button works fine and the touchscreen is unresponsive. I thought it might have some damage from being dropped but the touch screen worked before. So I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or if its something i can fix. Thanks

    We have Stock confirmation Transaction(ZTransaction) coming from SAP System through ITS. Our Issue is When user click on Confirm button in that transaction, background process will run.

Then user will be able to see the order pager after 45 min,after pressing Stock confirmation button. but the user is still alive in backend system, this will causing load on the backend system. So want to set automatic logout from that system after pressing confirm button in that transaction.

  • Locking a block after X number of user entry records

    Is there a way to lock a block after X many records have been entered by the user? I dont have a problem after the
    data is entered and saved, its just when they are entering the information the first time do I see the problem where the user can use the enter key and since my block navigation is next record they are able to go to the next record in block also that way. I have tried using triggers (when-validate-record it only catches it after they have already entered data, pre-record,next-record, does not seem to be able to see the :system.cursor_record variable. I need to be able to say, if the next record is X they can not navigate to that record. Any pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

  • CVCs locked by system

    Hi,
    I have some cases that some CVCs are locked by the system BTC_SYS_APO. What does this mean, and how to bypass this error? Even  after running the job again, I am facing the same kind of issue.
    Regards,
    Guru Charan.

    You can go to SM12 and unlock the respective CVC. I think BTC_SYS_APO is user id which is locking the system while you are executing some jobs. Please cross check if you some parallel jobs are running at the same time, which are locking these CVCs.
    Hi Amol,
    First, thanks for your immediate response. BTC_SYS_APO is not a usre ID, and there are no paralled jobs running on the same planning area at that time. Anything more from your side which might be helpful?
    Regards,
    Guru Charan.

  • Computer locks up right after boot due to driver confl

    <font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">When I have to shut down my compter or do a restart it locks up right after it boots up. The only way I can get it going is to go into safe mode, disable the Audigy 2 sound card, restart then after the boot up re-enable the sound card. Everything works fine then until I have to do another restart. I don't know which other program the conflict is with. I am running Windows xp home edition. Anybody got any ideas. How can I find out what the sound card is conflicting with?

    You can try the following:
    - uninstall the Audigy 2 and use Driver Cleaner or Driversweeper (you can find them at [url="http://www.guru3d.com/">Guru3D[/url]) in Windows Safe mode to get rid of older drivers/Windows registers that get stuck in the Window System which can cause problems for your pc;
    - reinstall the driver for the Audigy 2;
    - if you have onboard sound, disable the onboard sound via the bios of your motherboard;
    Good luck!?

  • Cannot access system after dropping laptop - how to fix (don't have recovery disks)?

    My wife dropped her L305-S5955 Satellite, Vista32 OS. Miraculously, case is perfectly fine, as is screen. Computer still powers on, too. At first it beeped - just now finding out that this is the "code" as to what is wrong, but we didn't know it then, and we can't remember how many beeps it was. Tried starting in safe mode and running the "Startup Repair", but the message "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" and "startup repair cannot repair this computer authomatically"....viewing the diagnostic and repair details shows that a number of tests were run, and all of them but one were completed successfully (one failed). Successful was: "check for updates", "system check disk", "disk failure diagnosis", "disk metadata test", "target OS test" and "volume content check".  The "root cause found" was "No OS files found on disk"....the "repair action" was "partition table repair" and the "result" was "failed". I read on another bulletin board that one could check whether one's hard drive was good at the command prompt by typing "chkdsk"....this was one of the first things I did, I should mention, and when I did it, it seemed to pass.
    Ideally, of course we would like to have the thing working just as it did before, with all the files intact...but since we can't even get the OS running (she never did make those homemade bootable CD Roms I'm now finding out Toshiba buyers are encouraged to make), she will settle for just getting the computer working again and ultimately losing her files (we believe we have copies elsewhere of the important photos, etc)...but, I have 2 concerns:
    1) I don't want to do this step of reinstalling the OS and overwriting everything IF there is ANY way to not have to do this (ie, pulling the hard drive and getting the files off some other cheap way), and
    2) that there might be more than just ONE problem here (bad OS)....maybe the hard drive somehow IS also damaged...or something else is. It's true all the tests I mentioned seemed to pass my hard drive, but most of the comments on various bulletin boards I've checked give me pause here...they all seem to almost guarantee my hard drive is toast....some advise to find the make of the hard drive, go their website and download the special, specific diagnostic test software to thoroughly test the hard drive...could it be that doing this could in fact reveal a problem that other tests thus far have not..?! I'm not incredibly computer literate and Hitachi page seemed a bit confusing to me...not sure what to download. I also should mention that when I ran the "Windows Memory Diagnostic Tool" (also built into the Satellite, as one of the several recovery tools on the "System Recovery Options" page), it apparently passed that, too.
    When I try to run "Windows Complete PC Restore", I get the mssg that "windows cannot find a backup on this computer"...."a valid backup location could not be found".
    I am currenty trying to run "System Restore" (many different dates were shown)....but is it supposed to take a very long time (several hours or more??)....it has been going for 10 minutes already, saying it's restoring files, but 
    my wife said she tried this too, and that it ran for about 2 hours but she accidently bumped the computer and it stopped running (so we're not sure if it was successful or not).
    Lastly, I wanted to mention that I already tried removing the back plates and checking the memory cards and hard drive to make sure they were securely seated (they seemed to be)...I even pulled them out slightly and reseated them to be sure....someone on a buletin board mentioned this can be the cause sometimes of things not loading after physical shock such as being dropped.
    Hopefully this is enough info that someone might have a very good idea what the computer's issue is, and how to best fix it. Should I buy the bootable OS disks from Toshiba (someone wrote that they can be had for $25 or so?). Or can this be downloaded from Microsoft? It seems like it should be FREE, since it was already paid for when we bought the laptop! Should I use the "TOSHIBA Recovery Wizard" ? Again: if absolutely necessary (how to 100% verify this?), we'll overwrite the hard drive and lose our files, but I just want to be sure...and also that I'm not trying to load it onto a hard drive with some hidden problem.
    Many thanks in advance...

    Update:  I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
    I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
    How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!
