Hi, I'm totally frustrated because it is taking me soooo long to capture my video. I know the most efficient way is to batch capture but I can not because it gets stopped too often due to dropped frames. Whether my captured clip is 2 minutes or 17 minutes, I frequently have dropped frames which cause an error message to appear and delays or requires me to abort that capture session. How can I avoid the dropped frames? Is there a way to end up with less dropped frames? If not, is there a way to capture or make settings on FCP that ignore dropped frames or skip over them and don't require you to start from the beginning of the capture again or abort? Please help. I was sitting there for three and a half hours for capturing less than one hour of video. And, I couldn't leave the machine while it captured; I had to sit there the whole time just in case of errors from dropped frames. Thanks, Tanya

How can I avoid the dropped frames?
capturing over a network will always result in more dropped-frames than capturing to an internal or firewire drive. You may want to invest in a firewire drive.

If not, is there a way to capture or make settings on FCP that ignore dropped frames or skip over them and don't require you to start from the beginning of the capture again or abort? Yes, it is best to make FCP ignore dropped frames. Just look at your preferences and uncheck the box that says "abort capture on dropped frames".
