• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Help!!! Technical question...

Hello all,

I am a Mac user working in video with Final Cut. Recently, the power went out while I was capturing some video. The footage was captured, as there was a decrease in disk space, but it does not show up as a file in my project. Can anyone tell me where this data would have been stored? Is there a way I can delete it to recover my disk space? I appreciate your help and thank you.

Permanently delete any captured file that has the suffix -av after it. Then recapture the video.
