Message "End of Tape Reached" after 30 sec of import

I am using an Canon XL-H1 camcorder shooting HDV. For the first 10 tapes it imported into FCE flawlessly. Then, suddenly, it will import only about 10 to 30 sec of tape and then display the dread message, "End of Tape Reached". If I try importing into iMovie, there are no problems. I have tried deleting preferences, re-installing Final Cut Express, but nothing seems to work. There is lots of space on my hard drives. Any ideas?

Computer is Apple Pro 2 X 2.8 Ghz Quad Core processors, 6 GB memory, 320, 500, 500,500GB Hard Drives with 1 TB G-Raid external. OS 10.5.5, Final Cut Express 4.01 Quick Time 7.5.5 Camera Canon XL-H1 connected via firewire 400. The frustration is that it worked perfectly for 7 (mini DVD) tapes but now after between 10 and 30 sec says "End of Tape Reached". If I import to iMovie, it works flawlessly, so that has been my work around. In terms of settings, I'm shooting in high Def so I set input as 1080i60. Once the footage is imported from iMovie, Final Cut works perfectly. As an old 16 mm film type, my mind is boggled at the quality of the footage and the ease of digital editing! Thanks so much for your help! Charlie

  • Error: "End of tape reached, last clip was not captured."

    I am trying to import a clip that I have successfully captured in the past.
    *The Tape:*
    Vis.TC, Keycode, and Audio TC.
    *Batch Capture settings:*
    Use logged clip settings, no handles, dv ntsc 48khz, 29.97, 24bit, 720x480 etc.
    *The Deck:*
    Sony DVCAM DSR-11 deck, the same one I used for importing last time.
    *The Device Control Presets:*
    Apple Firewire Basic, Time source: DV Time, 29.97, Non-Drop Frame.
    I imported the telecine log and selected the clip I wanted to capture. I hit batch capture. Click ok to the batch capture settings. The deck winds to the spot on the tape, capture starts, after 10-12 seconds or so I get this message...
    Error: "End of tape reached, last clip was not captured."

    Its clearly not the end of the tape...why is it doing this? How do I fix it? Any help is greatly appreciate.

    Just to get you started, the DSR-11 firewire control protocol should be Firewire NTSC not Firewire NTSC Basic.
    Also, are you sure the tape is NDF timecode?

  • Batch Capture Error: Timecode Error: End of Tape Reached

    I have been having issues doing batch capture with my JVC VS30U. I logged all my clips on the fly and did the entire tape, so the OUT point of one clip is the same as the IN point of the next clip. When I attempt to batch capture it gives this error between every clip.
    I have to hit retry, sometimes more than once, in order for the deck to properly cue and FCP to start the digitize. I don't know if this is a weird pre-roll issue, or something else, but it completely defeats the purpose of a batch if I have to sit here and hit retry after each clip.
    There are no TC breaks, and obviously its not really the end of the tape. I've read where people have similar problems, but didn't find a solution. Have already trashed prefs, but to no avail. Using FCP 5.0.4 with OS 10.4.3 and said JVC deck via firewire.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

    I don't know the deck but a simple test would be to move a couple of i/o points so they are not adjacent. Or test with a single, longer clip and break it up into subclips.
    Tell us what you've tried so we don't waster your time and ours with fruitless suggestions.
    Errors displayed by FCP are usually irrelevant and rarely helpful.

  • Itunes shuts down after 2 sec. into import

    I start import and i-tunes shuts down (not the pc though). Have to restart i-tunes and then it will import. Sometimes happens 2 or 3 times on a cd. Anyone have this problem that could help?
    Gateway   Windows XP Pro  

    Sorry experiencing the same problem. I also have a Gateway computer. While importing I noticed that some songs will only be imported for 6 sec. but all the songs that follow will be imported completely. Now I can't import songs at all. iTunes freezes and slows down my computer. If you get an answer to your problem please let me know.

  • End-of-file reached (-39) error

    I currently use QT 7.0.2. Frequently when I join multi-part AVI. videos together using "Split and Concat" software and try to play them I get the error message "end-of-file reached (-39)" and nothing happens. What does this message mean and how can I remedy the situation?

    It's been happening for a month I guess and I don't think that anything new's been installed. I will try recording to the start up disc and to maybe to some USB discs I have.
    It seems to happen after working on a project for some time.
    After say tracking takes for 45 mins or so. Maybe it's just coincidence, but do you think that might indicate a hardware issue?
    Now there might be a clue. What happens when you then quit Logic, reboot your Mac, and reopen the active session? It might be that your disk has become a bit messy from all the traffic, and it just needs to 'settle' in OS X again. Click on the *Spotlight icon* top right of your screen and see if any indexing is taking place. Wait for it to finish before launching Logic.
    Alternatively, you could exclude your recording disk from Spotlight indexing alltogether, by dragging the disk to the Privacy field in the Spotlight Sysprefpane.
    One other thing to do: turn off Journaling , using *Disk Utility.* Select your recording volume in Disk Utility, hold the alt key while dropping down the File menu. Choose *Disable Journaling.*
    On the other hand, it might also point to a RAM issue. Do you ever suffer Kernel panics (=the darkening 'curtain' and the message "You need to restart your Mac... etc")? or 'unexplained' crashes? If not or very rarely, I'ld rule out a RAM issue. If daily, it could be. What you can try in this case is to turn of your Mac and physically take out and reinsert your RAM.
    And when you trash (=eject/unmount), physically disconnect and reconnect your recording disk? Does that help? (Logic should not be running when you do this)

  • Extend End date after the end date has reached

    Hi gurus,
        We are using SRM5.0 on ECS with backend ECC5.0.
        We notice that after the end date of bid has reached even though there is a bid submitted by supplier , the purchaser still can extend the end date to a later date as long as he has not made the accept or reject choice.
        If it is the case, the purchaser can view the price after the end date reached and then extend the end date and maybe tell other supplier what the price the opponent has submitted. This is not allowed and should be penaltied.
        We just want to know how to avoid this in the term of system. Can we make the
    end date field unchangeable after the end date has reached? or any other solutions?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi,
    As Teja and SAndeep mentioned,you can go for either the Approval or BADI approach.
    In case you are implementing the BADI,you can make the concerned fields grayed out so no changes are made but then this would mean that <b>no changes
    </b> can be done at all after the END date has been reached.
    In case of workflow,you can have you starting conditions in which you will compare the end date and the system date .If same,you can trigger  a Workflow for approval of any changes to be done further.So even if the changes are made,the chnages are approved by a higher authority.
    Another way would be to implement the "BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI" to check whether the end date has been reached and then allow the user to do any changes.You can use the FM "BBP_PD_BID_GETDETAIL" to get the details of the BI and then check.In this case,you can additionally check for other parameters of the User like role,authorisation based on which he can make changes in exceptional cases.

  • Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file  "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

    Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit.  Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
    "Error reading/writing file
    “com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
    Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
    The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
    Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
    "The Preferences are not loaded completely.
    Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
    There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
    I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
    I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem.  If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done?  I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created.  I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done.  Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything?  I'm using Logic Pro 8.
    Thank you

    You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
    Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

  • End of File reached error message when running report

    I am running this report in two different places.  On my own machine it seems to run fine however when I run it for a client on their server I get a message saying end of file reached and the report won't come up.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Jeff,
    In what context are you running the report?  Are you talking about refreshing the data?
    Is this in crystalreports.com or the CR designer or some custom built application? 
    This forum is specifically for the crystalreports.com, Information OnDemand, and Applications OnDemand web applications so this might be the wrong place for your question.  You might want to try the Crystal Reports Design or one of the Crystal Reports SDK forums instead.

  • Current Time code field and "Capture Now has reached the end of tape......"

    Hi I just got my new iMac and I have lots of space. When I open up the Final Cut Pro and press the capture now it gives me the notice that it had reached the end of tape, but I haven't reached the end. I have vhs in the VCR machine and it is connected through the digital device. Not only that but my current timecode field is always running and I can't stop it. Also I used the uncontrollable device and when the tape has reached the end I tried to escape but it seizes up and I lost my capture. what shall I do?

    Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I'm doing this on an iMac.
    What's going on with Capture Now? I know staying digital would be best. But I'm kinda doing this project to give myself some hands-on time with FCP to get familiar with it. I'd like to capture this stuff through the Log And Capture GUI if I can. Sooner or later, I'll need to do it with something else (possibly an old VHS tape) where I won't have the option of staying digital.
    Anybody?

  • Error: Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39

    Hello all,
    Recently, I have been suddenly getting this error message:
    "Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39."
    In my case, when it does come up, it always pops up during the recording of an audio take. Almost immediately after hitting the stop button, this error message would pop up. And then when I go to check the take that was just recorded, there is nothing but shrieking noise. As a result, this pop up error trashes any good take I may have had. It's unpredictable as to when this error decides to pop up as well. So now, when I record, I tend to just have my fingers crossed and hope that this error doesn't pop up especially right after recording a good take!
    To no avail, I have tried different I/O buffer settings, repaired permissions, rebooted, and even re-formatted my recording hard disk.
    Could this be a possible hint that my hard disk is about to physically collapse? I have had it for about 2 years. Could it be some sort of bug in Logic? Or something else perhaps?
    Appreciate any feedback! Thanks a lot!

  • MAXDB backup failed with error: end of file reached -917

    Hello Shaun,
    Thank you so much for your reply. But I've checked that my F drive still have more than 480GB free space, so the space should not be the problem.
    And I've just run the backup once again, this time it keeps running for 2 hours, and then failed again with the same error.
    Is there other possible reasons of this error?
    Thanks a lot,

  • "end of tap encountered" while capturing canon hv10

    So.
    I am starting a big edit tonight, and im on my second DV tape of capture and already coming into issues. I am using a canon HV10, and am capturing into FCE 4 via appleINtermediaCODEC 1060i60 settings.
    When I start the capture of tape 2, I will begin to capture footage and it was start to CUE TAPE, CAPTURE FOOTAGE, ACQUISITION COMPLETE >> followed by a "You have reached the end of tape" message. I have watched the video many times before, and there are no dropped frames causing any potential capture issues.
    I am about to put in my third tape and see if i get the same problems.
    I am working on a mac pro 2.66ghz x2 4gb ram and tons of storage, i know my specs arent the problem. firewire cable is plugged in directly to front FW400 port.

    I have put tape 3 in and it is giving me the same problem. Though when 1 put tape 1 back in, the capture is fine.

  • Premature end of tape?

    still experimenting. attempted to capture some footage from my canon HV30 that i had shot before. twice got an end of tape message during the capture when only a minute or two into the tape. what could cause this?

    If you turn the camera playback off whilst capturing, FCE thinks it has reached the end of the tape and gives you that message.
    Are you sure nothing is causing the camera to stop playing back?
    What Easy Setup are you using?
    You could try deleting the User Preferences as described here:-

  • Logical end-of-file reached during read operation

    Hi,
    Something strange happened to my Logic a couple of days ago - all of a sudden. When I start Logic up it gives me the following error message:
    *Error reading/writing file “com.apple.logic.pro.cs”: Logical end-of-file reached during read operation.*
    I have re-installed Logic, as well as updated it (8.0.2), I have repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, and it still keeps popping up. I cannot get on with my projects and I have deadlines!
    I found an IT support site, according to that I don't have enough space on my HD. However, I do... I'm confused, and desperately need help.
    Thank you so much, I'm looking forward to hearing from somebody.
    Agnes

    I am not opening any files, just launching Logic.
    I know. And when you launch Logic, it loads its preferences files - and it seems this is failing - most likely due to file corruption. So delete the file, as I said, and Logic should load fine.
