Capturing from Firestore?

[ThousandWordPicture]

Hi there,

I have some corrupted clips that I posted about http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=119362 and I'm wondering if I can capture from the Firestore to get at the working portions of them.

I tried using FCP, but it says there have been dropped frames and stops the capture after only a few seconds. As far as I can tell this is happening on the undamaged clips as well.

I tried several different options in terms of frame rates and Firewire options, but no go.

I shot 720QTPN on a V3 Firestore. I'm capturing to a Mac Pro 2x dual core w/ 3gb ram and a 7200rpm internal sata scratch disk.

Is this possible? What am I doing wrong? If not, how can I get the working footage out?

Thanks.

have you tried unchecking the "abort capture on dropped frames" user preference? Might help.
