Yet Another CS5 Strange Printer Behavior

All of a sudden, when I open the print dialog it is set to the right printer (Epson R1900), but it wouldn’t take any changes. Clicking “Printer settings…” generated a message “because the requested printer does not exist.”
One way to overcome this is to select a different printer and then switch back to the Epson. Printer settings can now be changed, but only for one printout. Trying to print the same picture again does not recognize the printer. Also, using this method, the number of copies to print has no effect.
Another solution, mentioned by others, is to set the Epson to be the default Windows printer. However, if the number of copies was previously set to a number greater than one, the printer is set as the default printer, and a picture is printed while the number of copies is 1, the driver “remembers” the previous settings and prints multiple copies.
It’s about time Adobe fixes the printing problems in CS5.

Strange Print Behavior

While using Pages '08 (3.0.1) and Leopard (10.5) and attempting to print a document, each option I change in the print dialog causes the document preview to be reduced in size, and the document to print a size smaller than normal.
For example, clicking the 'From Page' setting causes this behavior or checking & unchecking the 'Collated' check box causes this behavior.
If I close the Print dialog without printing, the next time I open it the document is the correct size again. But any further adjustments cause the print to be reduced once more.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thank You!
You have saved me a massive amount of work. I was just about ready to manually find and replace dozens and dozens of uses of a particular font I thought might have been causing this issue.
Much appreciated!

Strange printer behavior on NT

I was wondering if anyone else may be experiencing the following (on windows 2k):
1. Multi page print (10 pages)
2. Multiple copies (11 copies)
3. Large images (I'm expanding 150K jpegs)
What actually comes out of the printer, is 110 copies of the same page!
I'm not ruling out Windows or the HP printer driver on this one, but I thought I would see if anyone else might have an idea.
thanks is advance!

Yes, the Java API set has enabled me to quickly craft a nice image processing utility for a client. The only gotcha we have at this point is the before mentioned printer issue. This is a 100% pure Java program (no JIMI, and I'm even using a TYPE4 jdbc driver).

Strange window behavior with CS5

I have begun experiencing strange behavior with PS CS5. I should begun with the machine configuration: 2.66GHz iMac (8,1) Intel Core Duo with 4GB RAM and OSX 10.6.6, Radeon HD 2600 Pro graphics card. The initial symptom showed up suddenly as an inability to display an image window; that is, I could open PS normally, everything would show up properly, but when I opened an image file of any sort, there would be no image window. Other cues indicated that the file was open; for example, the window menu would show it selected, and the layers palette would show the file's layers.
It did not seem to matter what type of file was involved: PSD, JPG, TIF, whatever. Occasionally, this behavior would begin during a session. Sometimes it would happen right off the bat. Sometimes, stopping and restarting PS seemed to clean things up; other times, this had no effect. After messing around quite a bit with different permutations and combinations, all I could say was that the problem was random.
I might add that I've had PS CS5 on this machine pretty much since it was announced, and had not had problems with it before. So this issue came along quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago. This was a little after I'd installed an update for Nik's Viveza 2; and I began to suspect that. Although why Viveza should do such a strange thing was odd, and Viveza was never part of the files I was experiencing issues with. Anyway, I went back to an earlier version of Viveza and the problem persisted.
Since I run Time Machine, I also went back to versions of the entire PS folder from a month back, and found the same problem. Along the way, I experimented with the files I was using with PS CS4 & CS3, which I also have installed on this machine. These two versions of PS run perfectly well. At least the CS4 version has precisely the same plugins as the CS5 folder, and this seems to discount the potential problem with plugins.
To be sure about CS5, I completely deactivated, deinstalled, and reinstalled it. The same issues occurred. Now, I have to admit that I let PS run its update process so that I brought it back to the most recent version in this step of my troubleshooting. So, I can't be certain that the issue isn't with some update of CS5.
I might add that I have been running CS5 in 32-bit mode, for compatibility with certain plugins. This may or may not be an issue, since I have limited experience with running in 64-bit mode. At this point, I should add a bit more about the confusing behavior.
While messing around with CS5, I also suspected the GPU support, since my problem had to do with windows. When the problem presents itself, the usual cycle through window views that you get by pressing the "F" key seems to get messed up. In particular, the "F" key doesn't work at all. Next, if you use the View menu to select different views, the full screen with menu bar view will often have garbled pixels, while the full screen view will show a blank grey screen. Then, cycling back to a window view will show a window with blank grey contents. This is interesting since the starting point was no window at all; but going into full screen and then back will produce a window with bogus contents.
Now, the next strange thing, having to do with the GPU, is that CS5 often fails to recognize the Radeon HD 2600 card. Oddly enough, it did originally. And I had it running in Basic mode. However, CS4 does recognize the GPU; and I can set it in any variety of modes: Basic, Normal, and Advanced. This behavior is not consistent at all either; that is, while CS5 almost always now fails to detect the GPU, sometimes it does. As near as I can tell, this failure to detect the card does not depend upon whether I start CS5 in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. OTOH, CS4 always recognizes the GPU.
Another form of this odd behavior arises if I start CS5 cold, and then just open a new blank window. This almost always works. I get a blank white window, and I can paint on it with a brush, etc. However, if I go ahead at this point and open a file, then the new file takes over the window; and there are no tabs. If I select the original new file, usually labelled "Untitled", the window bar will show the change of filename but the window's contents and the layers palette will continue to show the old file that I had opened. Cycling through views can sometimes get back to the new Untitled file, but just selecting file windows never works.
Yet another aspect of this messed up window behavior is that the workspace bar, which shows the Bridge, MiniBridge and view icons on the upper left and the various workspace options and CS Live on the upper right, is present but blank. OTOH, the tool bar is always displayed correctly, as is the horizontal bar that shows the various tool options. Likewise, the palettes for the workspace such as layers, swatches, adjustments, and so on, are always correctly displayed on the left.
My next steps in trying to figure this out will be to ensure that I am running the latest of all plugins so that I can get everything running in 64-bit mode and try this again. However, the single factor that seems consistent in this whole mess is that whenever I do find this odd behavior, the performance preferences window will indicate that CS5 is not detecting the GPU. Whenever this happens, if I open up CS4 and check the same performance preference in it, the GPU is detected. I can have the two preference windows side by side on the screen in fact, CS4 sees the GPU and CS5 does not. The counter-indication is that sometimes CS5 will work properly and the preferences window still shows that the GPU has not been detected. Having said that, I can add that if I have opened up CS5, and it has found the GPU, and I have set it into, say, Basic mode, and then later found CS5 messing up, and I go back and check the performance preferences again, the GPU has always been lost. So, CS5 can mess up windows with or without the GPU detected and active; but when if it started with the GPU present, it will show up as lost after the weird behavior starts.
To add one more observation, I have had Macs and other computers with failing GPUs. This computer is showing none of the typical signs of that. Every other program seems to be working just fine, and I have a lot of these, many graphics intensive; e.g., Corel Painter 11, Parallels v6 running Windows 7, PS CS4, Lightroom v3, Aperture v3, and so on. It is just CS5 that is messing up.
I could load up this message with screen shots of all this nonsense, but I'm not sure what that would add to the strange tale, other than I'm not pulling your legs. I am, however, pulling out my own hair.
As I stated before, this began quite suddenly a couple of weeks ago, early Feb 2011. My best guess as to cause is some combination of incompatible updates between CS5, OSX, and maybe some plugin or other. I found unusual behavior with onOne's FocalPoint v2 last year after Apple updated GPU drivers in some OSX update, and cratered that program. It took onOne a month or two to fix that. I have CS5 on a laptop with the same OSX version, and on that I haven't seen these issues; but then, I haven't been using it as intensely over there. Also, that machine has different CPU and GPU models than this iMac.
So, to the community: is anybody else starting to see this odd stuff? Am I alone?

Here's the reason I say that the same plugins exist for both CS4 & CS5. Sometime last year, the internal hard drive on this computer died (as they so often do), and it was replaced under the Apple care warranty. As a consequence, I decided to rebuild the OS and applications from scratch and bring back my user files from backup. I among other things, I reinstalled all of CS4 as well as CS5 (and I had to put CS3 back too for reasons having to do with printing calibration images for Quad Tone RIP). Then, I went to reinstall the plugins that I needed. I use Nik Software, onOne, Portrait Professional and various Topaz plugins. To my recollection, most of these install in PS CS3, CS4, CS5, Aperture, and Lightroom. In short, it is not that I've copied or moved plugin folders from one application folder to another, just that the installers automatically detect the presence of the various applications and put the various plugins into each, as appropriate.
The only 32-bit plugins that I have that don't fit into this category are from Vincent Versace. He provides special versions of certain Nik plugins (Tonal Contrast, Contrast Only, etc) that function with some Acme Educational extensions for performing B&W conversion, sharpening, blah blah blah. These plugins are only 32-bit and the extensions are only CS5 compatible. I've installed these ones only into CS5; so, you've got me. OTOH, I've had these from Vincent as soon as CS5 was available; and they've worked so far without problems. Perhaps I should just edit the extensions so I could use the latest plugins direct from Nik instead of the Versace special editions...
I've checked fonts and repaired permissions. I am presently going through the rather tedious process of disabling plugins and extensions to see if anything yields consistent results. The rather random arrival of the strangeness makes ensuring that a change is really having an effect more difficult to validate, as you will appreciate.
I apologize for my long-winded original post. I add all of the detail so that anyone who'd experienced similar strange behaviors might properly pattern-match what they were seeing. On the one hand, in finding the cause of a problem, you look for what's changed; and theoretically nothing is new. On the other hand, there's always so much changing behind the scenes with automatic updates of this, that, and the other thing that it's impossible to make the claim that nothing's new.

YAPP (Yet Another Printing Problem)

I've found another printing problem - this time with colour printing.
To my
surprise, Forte (3.0.E.0) can print in colour (at least on a HP 690C,
using
NT drivers for the 660C, the printer being connected to a Win95
machine).
I can print OK with from my NT develpoment machine in colour, but when
running
the same app from the Win95 client with the printer attached locally the
coloured text disappears. Has anyone else come across this problem?
Is this another of the 'Printing works fine as long as it happens
non-locally?'
features?
Thanks

I wonder if this is related to the printing feature I discovered
where things I print from Forte have a strong tendency to come out in
the same colours as my windows desktop, which is
typically yellow-on-black.

Printer Setup Utility always crashes- and am getting weird printer behavior

Just installed 10.5 on a fresh internal drive- machine is G5 2X2- settings imported from a 10.4 installation on another drive. Printer is a Brother HL-5170DN
If I try to print from any app, the app doesn't crash, as has been reported by others, but the printer behavior is strange. I added the printer from the Print and Fax control pane, which saw the printer and appeared to be happy. But when I try to print any test document, the printer starts printing an error message on every sheet in its tray, literally running through the whole stack and then complaining it's out of paper, even though the document to be printed was only one page. Have never seen anything like that. The error message printed on paper is: ERROR NAME; undefined COMMAND; y OPERAND STACK;
Cannot launch Printer Setup Utility- always crashes. Have tried reseting printer system and rebooting, but no luck. It seems to be complaining that a file called "_CPLPPDGetFileInfo" is missing. The error log when I try to launch Printer Setup Utility is:

Thanks for the helpful info. I had upgraded to Leopard using Archive & Install and had an alias to the Printer Setup Utility from Tiger, which I kept trying to use not realizing that this now pointed to the old version in the Previous Systems folder.
Now I've deleted the whole thing and will remember to use the System Preference panel to configure my printers.

HP deskjet 3520 ink cartridge problem...Can anyone suggest another make of printer that is not HP?

Hello...I have yet to receive an answer that resolves the problem. I regret buying the printer because now it doesn't work. The error message remains despite taking advice how to fix it.
We only use the black cartridge.
Can anyone suggest another make of printer that is not HP?
Thanks in advance. I am in the UK and need to print urgently.

Strange Permissions Behavior with Public/Private Drop Box

Strange Permissions Behavior with Non-Course Drop Box
In an effort to promote iTunes U on campus this semester (and to get people working with audio and video more) we're having a contest in which people can submit personal or group audio/video projects.
This being an iTunes promo, we intend for students to submit their contributions via a drop box.
To that end, I began experimenting with drop boxes in iTunes U, which I haven't done much of previously. I've created a course called "iTunes U Drop Box Test" under "Campus Events". Within that, I have two tabs: "Featured Submissions" and "Dropbox". My goal with this drop box was to allow faculty, students and college folks the ability to use the drop box ("college" being a role I've defined for those who don't fit into the faculty/student roles).
When I first started experimenting, access to the "iTunes U Drop Box Test" course looked like this:
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Download: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
--- Credentials ----
Download: College@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Instructor@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu
Download: Student@urn:mace:lafayette.edu:classes:${IDENTIFIER}
For the "Featured" Submissions tab, I gave the non-system credentials the "download" right, and for the "Dropbox" tab I gave the non-system credentials the "dropbox" right.
My understanding of this setup is that everyone should have had the ability to view the course and the contents of the "Featured Submissions" tab and that those in the College/Instructor/Student roles would be able to upload files via the "Dropbox" tab ... but not see the contents of said tab after the files were uploaded (aside from any files they uploaded themselves).
This is not the behavior we saw however. While the College/Instructor/Student roles could upload files to the dropbox, everyone (including the unauthenticated public) was able to see all of the contents of the dropbox.
The only way I could get this to work as advertised was to change all of the system credentials save the "Administrator" to "No Access":
--- Credentials (System) ---
Edit: Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Authenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: Unauthenticated@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
No Access: All@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:lafayette.edu
Once I did this, everything worked as advertised: College/Instructor/Student roles could upload tracks, and the "Dropbox" tab would only display tracks they uploaded.
So my question is ... is this the correct behavior for the drop box? It looks like when the system credentials are in play, they're simply overriding whatever the normal "view" rule is for the drop box, which doesn't seem right.

Your current configuration where things work as you wanted does seem correct to me. You are not using any System Credentials to accomplish the functionality and that's fine.
Here's some more info to clarify how / why this is working for you and why you had to set "No Access" for the System Credentials:
The System Credential "Authenticated@..." is going to get assigned to any user that goes through your transfer script. Even if you transfer script assigns no credentials to a user, upon entering iTunes U they will have at least 1 - the "Authenticated@..." credential. Therefore, unless you block access using "No Access", any user that passes through your transfer script is going to be able to access the area in question.
When you change values for "Unauthenticated@..." or "All@..." you are defining what someone that DOES NOT pass through your transfer script can do. You want both of those to be "No Access" at the top level of your site if you do not want unauthenticated visitors.
The distinction between "Unauthenticated" and "All" is that "All" applies to all users whether they pass through the transfer script or not.
Here's another way to remember things:
User passes through your transfer script, iTunes U automatically assigns:
Authenticated@....
All@....
User does not pass through your transfer script and instead access your iTunes U site through derivable URL*, they get assigned:
Unauthenticated@....
All@....
*The derivable URL for a site is: http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/site-domain-name

Strange Printing Issue With New HP & Pages

Hello!
I have a very strange printing issue with a new HP printer. I have written pages documents heavy in Texts which are located within tables. The documents print fine on a Cannon and Epson printer and look great but when I print the document on my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 Colour M451nw some of the text on some rows come out of the printer looking like they are bold / slightly fuzzy. This only happens with some of the rows of text, not all of them. The font is the same in every row with the same format.
You can see this in the attached image. The first line (Thanks very much) has printed correctly but the subsequent lines look bold / slightly fuzzy.
After a lot of testing the only way I can resolve this is if I copy the content into a new pages document and only then it will print and look ok with the HP printer.
This must be a problem within my origional document. I would simply copy and paste everything into a new document however this would take a very, very long time (over 5 years of work producing teaching materials and over 100 documents and thousands of tables and formatting that cannot be copied and pasted).
Also, on other printers you can see the lines seperating each row of the table. These lines are not visible on the HP print outs, even when the table is copied into a new document.
Has anyone come accross an issue like this before? Is there a way I can fix this without creating a new document? Do I need to get a new another new printer (the 4th printer this week!)?
Any advise, wise words would be greatly apprechiated!
Thanks!

Sorry, Fruhulda. After 4 hours on the phone with Apple care they are taking this issue further themselves. It seems to be a problem with our pages document and the compatibility with certain drivers. We have still not gotton to the bottom of it and Apple are going to get back to me when they have an answer.
We also worked out that the issue only happens when you print via Ethrenet & USB. Printing via Wifi is ok and there are no quality issues.
Very Strange!

Yet another Itunes won't open, but shows in TAsk Manager

Yesterday I was loading some new music into itunes (6.0.1 I believe), when the application froze. I ended task on it and tried to restart. I got busy and forgot that I opened it, but when things slowed down I noticed that the GUI was not in my taskbar. My computer was REALLY slow, so I check Task Manager and it saw Itunes listed, taking 40meg of memory and 99% of the CPU. I could do nothing to get it to work. THERE IS NO ERROR MESSAGE DISPLAYED! I get the agreement screen, and a quick hourglass, but then nothing except a very slow system.
Steps taken so far:
- Removed Itunes and quicktime using recommended method from apple.com. This invloved deleting temp files, itunes and quicktime folders, etc.
-Reinstalled both quicktime and itunes 7.0.1.
-Searched for malware with AVG spyware remover.
-Scraped registry after YAU(yet another uninstall)
-REmoved music folder of the album i was loading.
I am running Win2003 Server with Network Associates Virus Scan Enterprise edition. I do have admin rights on my local machine, even though it is a work machine.
Please, any help would be appreciated. This is really swinging the love-hate Apple relationship back to hate.
Not really, but I am sad.
hp Other OS 2003 Server

I solved this myself. Very strange...but the CD I was trying to burn the itunes first crashed was still in the CD drive. So I guess it kept trying to read it...and locked up.

Yet another case of new type[array] and parametrized type

I suppose this is an often asked question, to which I seem not to be able to find a simple answer. I know of the "incompatibility" of arrays and generics, and yet in such a seemingly simple case I run into a mystery, or a compiler bug. Look at this warning:
Set<Integer> C[];
foo/bar/some.java:1148: warning: [unchecked] unchecked conversion
found   : java.util.HashSet[]
required: java.util.Set<java.lang.Integer>[]
                C=new HashSet[H-L+1];So far so good, but precisely this *"Set<type>[]"* does not exists, does it? When I try to add a parametrized type to this new statement, compiler says:
Set<Integer> C[];
foo/bar/some.java:1148: generic array creation
                C=new HashSet<Integer>[H-L+1];
                  ^
1 errorIn a regular case we can easy deal with the "unchecked" warnings, e.g. Effective Java 2nd Ed, Item 24 discusses this, but all this seem to be ignoring this case. When generic array creation is not permitted, than why this warning stating that *"java.type<typeparam>[] required"* appear, and how to resolve this for safety and correctness? Of course, I can still ignore the warning and do a few instanceof checks and casts, like before, but I am really curious how to transfer this into the new paradigm.
As much generics improve and help in many cases, I regret their arcane complexity. To paraphrase C.A.R. Hoare, the Java language itself becomes now the problem, not its solution.
Thomas

I wonder if we have someplace recent measure just an array stack against a current implementation of a set in Java? In JDK1.4 I remember array was several times faster, 350% faster if my memory serves me, and I do have the classic "inner loop" operation, very repetitive. I can live with the warning, what's the problem?
Of course all this are considerations fully aside of the issue at hand, that the JDK1.6 compiler prints a nonsense warning message that a parametrized array is expected, what is in fact illegal in current implementation of generics. Which is in my eyes severely faulty, but that would be yet another assault on the Braha Ivory Tower, wouldn't it?

Yet Another P7N Diamond Issue

Apart from the ongoing problem I am still having in this thread I now have yet another dilemma. I bought a BFG 9800 GT OC2 as a upgrade and installed it the usual way ensuring I connected the 6 pin connector too and the pc does not boot up even after several attempts
Instead I am getting a strange beeping pattern one long beep then some shorts
Please if someone could shed some light I would greatly appreciate it even if its regarding my previous issue.

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?language=en&act=detail&tbcate=22&id=2543
I use the above Cooler Master PSU, zero issues. Has 4 pci-e connectors, so it's ready for quad sli if I ever want to go that route with my P6n Diamond. Has lots of different connection options, highly rated PSU. Not all Cooler Master PSUs underperform, just have to know what you're buying. The above supply also has 2 8 pin connectors so for instance when my GTX 295 arrives I'll have no trouble (card uses 6/8 pin). Reviews also can be helpful.

Strange ZWSREG behavior

We are in the middle of a rollout of about 300 new machines. (used sysprep in the image) The first 100 are doing something strange. They boot up get renamed and join the windows domain with their new name, but register with ZEN as the randomly generated Microsoft name. (usually someting like N-398477634379d979) I deleted the workstation object, unreged and rereged the computer, but it always reregisters with the randomly generated name. What gives? I found a TID that said this was fixed by an update on the latest desktop agent, but that I could work around it by deleting the incorrectly named object and waiting for the machine to reboot, However it still registers with the wrong name. Any ideas? Thanks.

But these are new computers. They should not have image safe data yet. I tried it, but got the same result.

Yet another dimension of Yahoo IMAP suckage

Just when I thought I'd had all the frustration I can handle with the terrible integration of IMAP support for Yahoo accounts (and as stated before I really have no idea if the problem resides with AT&T/Yahoo or Palm), I discovered today that there's yet another possible weirdness that can happen -- duplication of the entire inbox. What I had happen multiple times is that a new message would come in, and when it went to fetch it, it would also fetch all email again from the last 7 days (the cutoff I have set, because as often as I have problems and have to delete the account, there's no point loading any more than that), such that I had 2 copies of every message. Then if I manually refresh (sometimes I had to leave the inbox and go back, sometimes not) it would properly remove the duplicates and set the message count correctly again.
Here's the part that has to be a bug on the Pre, well-documented on this forum by now -- every time this happened, even once the message count was back to the proper value, the disk space used for email grew. So those duplicate messages were being orphaned in /var/luna/data/emails every time, taking away valuable application space made critically important by the failure/extreme delay in addressing the app space limitation issue.
I have no idea if it's done doing this yet. I just sent a test message and it didn't happen that time. I have already deleted and re-added the account once and it happened again twice after that, so it's not some weirdness with the account unless it recreated itself again right away.
We really ought to be past this type of issue by now. IMAP email is not exactly brand new technology, and plenty of folks are having issues with POP as well. We ought to be reaching a point of maturity in WebOS and the core applications that makes it a solid foundation on which to add features and develop apps for. But it's just not. Every new update, while it fixes some things, breaks others, and some of these systemic and long-standing issues have yet to be addressed (again, except for the disk space growth, I don't know for sure that the Pre is doing anything wrong, but that alone is still a huge issue that doesn't seem like it would be hard to pinpoint). I said from the beginning I was willing to wait for this phone to grow into its potential, and I still am, but I expected more progress by now.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Just an update. The loading of duplicate messages appears to have stopped, at least for now, but things are still not working normally. Some messages are simply missed until I do a manual refresh. In other words, say I get message A at 1pm. I can see it in my inbox via webmail, but it's not on the Pre. Then I get message B at 1:30. I see it after message A in my inbox in webmail, but on the Pre, I get a notification for B, and see B in my inbox, but A is not there until I do a manual refresh, and at that point the order even on the Pre confirms that A arrived first. This has happened twice this afternoon, and I can't say as I've every seen that behavior prior to today. I really am beginning to wonder if email is ever going to work properly on this thing...

Capturing DVCAM in FCP 6.0.2 and encountering strange capture behavior

I have FCP 6.0.2 and OSX 10.5.2 and QT 7.3.1. I have been capturing several DVCAM cassettes using my Sony DSR-20 deck. Although I have done this countless times before in earlier versions of FCP, I am encountering some strange repetitive behavior. I am capturing 30 minute clips one at a time. When I use batch capture it will cue the tape up properly to the in point...and then start capturing until it gets to about 10-12 minutes in, and then capture unexpectedly stops, no dialogue box, the tape rewinds and starts capturing again from the original in point. On this second capture, the tape sails past the 10 minute mark and keeps going to the end of the 30 minute clip. It then stops, gives me the dialogue box that it has successfully captured. And it has.
But every DVCAM tape I captured today exhibited the same behavior. Capture would be successful until about about 10 minutes in, then FCP aborts (no dropped frame message, no dialogue box) rewinds the tape back to the in point, tries again, and this time succeeds with the second pass capturing the entire clip. Note at the 10 minute mark there is no scene change or no camera start/stop.
Have other users experienced this issue? And if so, is there a workaround or a possible patch forthcoming from FCP?
Many thanks,
John

Yes, each tape has an in and out point defined. In my 6 years of editing with Final Cut and DVCAM tapes I've never encountered this issue before in the capturing process until now. I will have to see in future weeks with other captures whether this is an on-going issue or not, but at least I can capture for now.
