Hi !

When I do a batch capture of an offline sequence, Avid capture a few clips and then stop telling me that there is no sufficient disk space.  But there is.  A window appear and ask me to Try again, Skip Clip, Skip Tape or Abort.

Then I click skip clip and it continue ti capture and I have to do this over and over until all the media is digitized.

What can I do to resolve this problem?

Thanks

When the clips appear in the capture tool that cause the abort, do those clips show an "out" timecode as well as an "in", or is the out field empty?

When the clips appear in the capture tool those clips show an "out" timecode as well as an "in". BUT, the time code shifts during capture.  For exemple: capturing 01;10;15;00 to 01;10;35;00, when I capture everything is OK but when it comes around, let say 01;10;21;00 the timecode IN changes to 01;10;21;00 and the OUT is still 01;10;35;00.  The capture continues until the OUT and then I have the error message... Bizzare ...

PS: there is no timecode breaks on the tape.  When I click abort and then I return in capture mode I can capture the clip but this error comes futher in capture with another clip ......

d.adams:

the time code shifts during capture

Is there a TC break at or around 1;10;15;00?  I think the Capture Tool is set to a pre-roll of 6 secs by default and there seems to be 6 secs between what you want to be the start and what ends up being the start.  

If the deck can't pre-roll to prior 15 secs, then it may be taking it from where it can, and so the resulting start is at 21 secs.

Problem solved !  Here's the solution!

Go to settings/capture/batch and enable Optimize for disk space.  If you try to capture multiple clips and/or sequence with the option '' Optimise for batch speed'' Avid will bug.  This option is supposed to capture clips that are less than 5 seconds away on tape, without stopping.  But in my case it makes Avid bug (4.0.5)

Hope it helps someone !

Thanks for everyone helping me !
