That's strange, because I am using OS X.1.5 and my problem isn't capturing to the FW drive with my ZR10. In fact that is what I have normally done. The problem is mainly with editing the clips that are on the FW drive. Once I do some cropping and try to empty the trash, the program hangs. I can't figure this one out. It sure is frustrating though. Especially now hearing that I'm not supposed to capture directly to the FW drive. That's the reason I got the 7200RPM FW drive... to avoid dropped frames when capturing to the slower internal drive.

Instead, import or export to your internal hard disk and copy the file to the FireWire hard disk. </snip> David Crump ================================== You can reach me at: email: davecrump at mac.com www: http://homepage.mac.com/davecrump/
