So you mean to run the analog out from the original into an A to D 
Firewire converter? I have a Sony DVMC-DA2 Media Converter. Would that 
give FCP a cleaner set of code that it wouldn't stop capturing if I 
feed the converter the analog signal from my original damaged tape on 
the way to the Mac for capture?
