FCP stopped capturing

I'm getting this error - An error occurred finding one or more of the specified capture scratch volumes. Verify that both audio and video scratch disks are set in the Preferences.
It was capturing clips just fine and all of a sudden I get this error. I can't batch capture or capture now they both give me the same error
I've tried reinstalling (removed receipts, plist & FinalCutPro.pkg's)

Sounds like your capture scratch disk is not available.
Try pointing it to an available disk in your FCP system settings.

FCP stops capture when clip reaches 9:24:24

Hello bright heads!
Need your help.
Everytime FCP gives me an error msg "capture stopped due o the lack of disk space" when the clip has reached 9:24:24. All my hdd have more than 10gb free space. In settings capture is not limited to any time or size....
I havent got a clue....its really anoying sometimes when ou need to capure 30 min and want to go away and when you come back you get that error msg on screen...
I have Macbook pro 2.2 dual core duo 4gb ram and 128 video card... mac osx 10.5.2 and fcp studio2 (updated)
p.s. tried capturing on external and onboard hdd - no difference.

Hi Tony!
Just looked into it again...and all the limits seem to be taken off as they were before....Ive looked through all the preferences. The funny thing is that when I capture in university which has he same FCP it goes over 9 minutes, in fact I captured 25 and it was fine... I havent got a clue whats wrong on my macbook pro...

FCP Stops Capturing and Gives Sample Rate Error

I've just installed FCP 6 and began capturing from MiniDV. After 9:25;23, the capture stops "due to lack of disc space" and then tells me that the audio sample rate for the capture clip doesn't match that of the source.
This is a new install, but the previous install on another machine didn't have that problem.
Help me. My hair is getting thinner from tearing it out.

What are you capturing to? An external drive? Is it formatted macosextended? Are you connecting to it via firewire? Have you run diskwarrior on the drive? Is the audio on the minidv 48k 16 bit or 32k 12 bit? Does the capture preset match this?

Stopping Capture

I am capture footage vie non-controllable device. I cannot stop the capture via the ESC button. Further, FCP does not respond when I turn my camera off. I am left with a frozen still image.
I can I stop capturing? Also, when I look in my capture been I do not see the footage.

Please move to the Final Cut Studio forum.

Stops capturing after a few minutes

FCut Express 4 importing firewire tape from camcorder. Final Cut stops capturing after a few minutes. Same problem if I use iMovie

Can you provide details as to how your camera is connected,
what camera model, is an external drive involved, what type, how is it formatted?

Fcp wont capture

on my g5 fcp aborts capture and i get a dialogue box saying that there is a problem with the tape. i have the same problem with multiple tapes from different sources and 2 cameras. fortunately, i have a macbook pro and am not having any problems capturing to it; the same footage from the same cameras. any ideas. never had any issues capturing b4 on the g5
thanks

Hi! I have the same camera and had (have) the same problem. I am running a PowerBook G4 with OS X 10.4.9. As my computer is brand new, and the only software I even have loaded is FCE HD 3.5, I knew it wasn't a memory problem. I finally got so frustrated that I called the FCE support people. They told me that the Panasonic isn't on the "list" of cameras that work well with FCE. (I had a small heart attack at that point considering I've sunk a considerable amount of $$ into getting a 'good quality' set up to basically make small little movies.)
BUT the good news is that there's a decent work around for this. In the Easy Set Up menu, choose DV-NTSC DV Converter. This will allow you to do a Capture Now, but you won't have any control over the footage, so you'll have to make sub clips later. I've also been experimenting with the DV-NTSC Firewire choice from the Easy Set Up. That will give you control of the footage, but I did have one crash and one "abort due to dropped audio" yesterday. So... Not sure if that's the best way to go.
I'd really love to hear how this works for you and if you've discovered any other work arounds to this problem.

OGG for SQL Server - Extract stops capturing - Bug?

Hi, all,
I've found a problem with OGG for SQL Server where the Extract stops capturing data after the transaction log is backed up. I've looked for ways to reconfigure OGG to avoid the problem but couldn't find any reference to options to workaround this problem. It seems to be a bug to me.
My Extract configuration is as follows:
EXTRACT ext1
SOURCEDB mssql1
TRANLOGOPTIONS NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT
EOFDELAY 60
EXTTRAIL dirdat/e1
TABLE dbo.TestTable;
I'm using the EOFDELAY parameter for testing purposes only, since it's easy to reproduce the scenario that causes the issue when the extract polling is configured with longer intervals.
When the Transaction Log backup runs, SQL Server marks all the virtual logs that are older than the primary and secondary truncation points as inactive (status = 0). These virtual logs can then be reused if required. They still contain change records, though, and OGG can read from then if required, before they are overwritten. This situation will never occur if we are not using SQL Replication and have the Extract configured with the parameter MANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT.
However, I'm trying to simulate a scenario where OGG is used along SQL Replication and the extract is configured with the NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT option. The situation that I've reproduced and caused the Extract to stop capturing is the follow sequence of events:
1. Extract reads transaction log and capture change up to LSN X
2. More change are made to the database and the LSN is incremented
3. Log Reader reads Transaction Log, captures changes up to LSN X+Y and advances the secondary truncation point to that LSN
4. A transaction log occurs, backs up all the active virtual logs, advances the primary truncation point to a LSN greater than LSN X+Y, and marks all the virtual logs with LSNs <= X+Y as inactive (status = 0)
5. Changes continue to happen in the database consuming all the available inactive virtual logs and overwriting them.
6. The extract wakes up again to capture more changes.
At this point, the changes between LSNs X and X+Y are not in the Transaction Log anymore, but are available in the backups. From what I understood in the documentation the Extract should detect that situation and retrieve the changes from the Transaction Log backups. This, however, is not happening and the Extract becomes stuck. It still pools the transaction log at the configured interval query the log state with DBCC LOGINFO, but doesn't move forward anymore.
If I stop and restart the Extract I can see from the trace that it does the right thing upon startup. It realises that it requires information that's missing from the logs, query MSDB for the available backups, and mine the backups to get the required LSNs.
I would've thought the Extract should do the same during normal operation, without the need for a restart.
Is this a bug or the normal operation of the Extract? Is there a way to configure it to avoid this situation without using NOMANAGESECONDARYTRUNCATIONPOINT?
The following is the state of the Extract once it gets stuck. The last replicated change occurred at 2012-07-09 12:46:50.370000. All the changes after that, and there are many, were not captured until I restarted the Extract.

It might be something simple (or maybe not); but the best/fastest way to troubleshoot this would be to have Oracle (GoldenGate) support review your configuration. There are a number of critical steps required to allow GG to interoperate with MS's capture API. (I doubt this is it, but is your TranLogOptions on one line? It looks like you have it on two , the way it's formatted here.)
Anyway, GG support has seen it all, and can probably wrap this up quickly. (And if it was something simple -- or even a bug -- do post back here & maybe someone else can benefit from the solution.)
Perhaps someone else will be able to provide a better answer, but for the most part troubleshooting this (ie, sql server) via forum tends to be a bit like doing brain surgery blindfolded.

Automator Stop Capture error

I was trying to make a screen capture service, but have been hitting errors in the Start Capture and Save Capture actions. I tried to make a service as simple as New Screen Capture > Wait for User Action > Stop Capture, but it gives me an error on the Stop Capture action (even though it does stop the recording). The error just says "can't make missing value into type alias."

The (stopped) Capture process & RMAN

Hi,
We have a working 1-table bi-directional replication with Oracle 10.2.0.4 on SPARC/Solaris.
Every night, RMAN backs up the database and collects/removes the archive logs (delete all inputs).
My understanding from (Oracle Streams Concept & Administration) is that RMAN will not remove an archived log needed by a capture process (I think for the logminer session).
Fine.
But now, If I stop the Capture process for a long time (more than a day), whatever the reason.
It's not clear what is the behaviour...
I'm afraid that:
- RMAN will collect the archived logs (since there is no more logminer session because of the stopped capture process)
- When I'll restart the capture process, it will try to start from the last known SCN and the (new) logminer session will not find the redo logs.
If that's correct, is it possible to restart the Capture process with an updated SCN so that I do not run into this problem ?
How to find this SCN ?
(In the case of a long interruption, we have a specific script which synchronize the table. It would be run first before restarting the capture process)
Thanks for your answers.

RMAN backup in 10g is streams aware. It will not delete any logs that contain the required_checkpoint_scn and above. This is true only if the capture process is running in the same database(local capture) as the RMAN backup is running.
If you are using downstream capture, then RMAN is not aware of what logs that streams needs and may delete those logs. One additional reason why logs may be deleted is due to space pressure in flash recovery area.
Please take a look at the following documentation:

FCP 7 Captured/Imported letterbox footage incorrectly marked as Anamorphic

I recently installed FCP 7 and captured 24pA footage with the Easy Setup for 23.98 with Advanced Pulldown Removal. The footage was not shot anamorphic but was shot letterbox (on DVX100b). FCP batch captures the footage and I notice afterward that the anamorphic box checked on all the clips (and correspondingly visually distorted). I notice the same after I import 24pA footage (non-anamorphic) that I had already captured into new FCP project, also setup with the 24pA Easy Setup for Capture and Sequence.
This is fixable by unchecking the anamorphic column for each of the clips, of course, but it's tedious and shouldn't be happening i the first place.
Why is FCP 7 interpreting all new letterbox footage as anamorphic? I checked the settings for the Easy Setup and the box for anamorphic is NOT checked! I did not check non-letterboxed video. Also, the pixel aspect ratio. is set at CCIR601 on both the capture and sequence settings. Any ideas about the letterboxed video? Thanks.

I don't have an answer to your core question, but I own the DVX100B and shoot/capture at 24PA/advanced pulldown removal. However, I either shoot SD or I attach anamorphic lens adapter for 16:9.... have never tried using either Letterbox or Squeeze mode.
Reading through "The DVX Book" by Barry W. Green, he suggests that Letterbox mode is useful for simulating a wide screen look on a 4:3 TV screen, which is what you may be trying to achieve, but if your viewers are watching wide screen, you would get better looking results using the Squeeze mode.
My workflow is designed to create deliverables that are properly formatted for 16:9 flat screen displays because the majority of my clients and end users no longer own a CTR monitor or TV.

FCE or FCP for Capturing Now?

I like to use the capture now feature when I use FCP at work? Someone told me this method of capturing works better using FCE. Is that true? Is there a difference? I sometimes get audio and video synch issues using FCP and capture now, would that improve if I got FCE using capture now? Thanks for any input.

They work identically. Sync issues are most commonly related to not using capture settings that match your media.

Capture ends randomly - I want to select when to stop capture

Can Premier be set up to capture continuously? Why does it randomly stop capture? I want to capture video until I manually press the"Stop" button.

It's a long term fault with PRE. There are however some freeware applications that WILL capture until you select to stop:
For DV:
WinDV
Exsate DV Capture Live
For HDV:

FCP 7, 'Capture Now' suddenly stops working

I have been capturing footage from several tapes for many days now, with zero problems. I started doing some more today,
also with no problems, until about the 4th capture attempt. Suddenly, when I hit 'capture now' during playback, nothing at all
happens. I have more than 2TB of free space on my scratch disk, and no capture settings have been changed. I can control
the deck just fine, so communication between the deck and FCP is not an issue. But it literally went from being fine for one clip,
and completely non responsive for the next. I closed FCP, powered down the camera, re-seated the firewire cables, turned the
camera back on and re opened FCP. Same thing. 'Capture Now' doesn't do a thing. I have imported more than 15 tapes without
a single issue, now suddenly I am dead in the water. What am I missing?
I am using a Sony HC-1 with DV footage; Easy Setup set to DV NTSC, Device Control to Firewire NTSC. As I said, device
control works perfectly, but capture suddenly will not initiate. It's as if the 'capture now' button just went dead,
so to speak.
HELP!!

Trashing preferences did the trick, and that app was great. So I was able to get up and running again and get a few more tapes imported. But NOW...
I put in another tape this afternoon, and now when I hit 'capture now' it appears to start the capture, goes for approx. 1 second, then stops and says "searching for media". Nothing I have tried solves this problem. I have powered everything down, unplugged/replugged everything, no help. SO frustrating!

Stop capture, Save clip

Is there no way to stop a capture, yet still preserve what has already been captured?
Okay, say you've typed in your in and out points. You're capturing along, have an hour and a half of footage captured, and suddenly you see that you've mistyped a number, and you're going to be capturing 2 more extra hours. (I’m exaggerating a bit.)
Pressing esc cancels the capture and throws away that hour and a half of footage you really did want to capture. (And that actual hour and a half of precious time.)
Is there a way to save it, and not keep capturing?
Am I just stupid, or is FCP?
Thanks

No, you cannot abort the capture and save what has been captured when you've logged such a big chunk. If you have to capture your footage without logging it into individual clips, it's best to log smaller chunks, in order to avoid such a scenario as you mentioned below. If you've got a 3-hour tape it really wouldn't take that long to zip through it and set some INS and OUTS, breaking it up into smaller chunks.
And in addition to avoiding losing valuable time having to abort a long capture, FCP handles smaller clip durations better anyway, so your project will run more smoothly once you've got everything captured.
I realize of course sometimes it's necessary to capture an entire tape at once, but if you can, there are lots of benefits to logging your stuff in more detail right from the get-go.
Hope this helps,
Joni
