Greetings,
perhaps someone will recognize this problem and recommend a solution or work around.

I shot video on a Canon XHA1 and typically download to FPC via 4 pin firewire connected to a Canon HV30.
Both tapes were new, previously unused.
The first tape dumped without a problem.
The second tape has been "problematic".
I am getting what appear to be -random- frame drops that abort the capture.
The dropping frames -do not- always appear to be in the same place on the subsequent attempt to capture.
I also used another HV30 and still have the problem.
Also cleaned the heads and still have the problem.
Also created a fresh destination hard drive (empty) and still have the problem.

Before I re-install my Mac OS and FCP, might anyone have a suggestion or solution they would like to share with me?

Thank you,
Jo
