    trouble capturing DV

    My Set-up:

    MC2.8.3

    Dell Precision 670

    Fx3400 video card

    Mojo on internal bus

    Pyro card fitted but no drives attached

    SCSI Raid Array on UL4D

     

    I can't seem to capture more than a couple of minutes through the Mojo without getting

    "Data loss has been detected on the 1394 bus and the capture has been interupted.The cause maybe due to other activity in the system or due to a bad tape thread You can skip over theses errors by deselecting "stop capture if a bad frame is detected " in the capture settings ." (this is already deselected)

    I tried plugging the DVcam deck into the Pyro card but couldn't get the capture tool to switch to OHCI without physically removing the Mojo.  Is that right or is there another way?

    Now capturing fine via Firewire into Pryo card with no problems, Mojo disconnected.

    Any idea what might be wrong??  Mojo is behaving otherwise fine...

    Re: trouble capturing DV

    I'm sure all is in the proper place - I'v been cutting on this machine for years.

     

    Any other thoughts?

    I always thought Mojo should be attached to the Pyro card not the internal 1394. The deck should attach to the internal card, but you are right, you SHOULD be able to attach it to the Mojo too and select 1394 on the timeline.
