Hi i have a canon hv20 and i am capturing my video in final cut expresse version 4 it only captures 5 mins then it stops and the comouter freezes. I have a mac mini OS version 10.57 itel core 2 duo 2 Gb of ram. The tape i am capturing is about an hour.
USB drives are not supported by Apple for video editing applications. You might try disconnecting the USB drive and capturing to the internal and see if that works.
Hey tanks a lot men now i can capture but i have less space to put all of the videos so i have to stop and dump it in to hard drive then start capturing again.
