User Notes:
In OSX many people report getting
dropped frames on batch captures of long clips. The symptom is usually
a black capture screen or a frozed frame which does not change for a significant
amount of time. Depending on your setting you will either get an aborted
capture due to a dropped frame or the capture will exhibit the problem
seen in the capture window followed by wildly out of sync audio and video.
Certain Norton products may be the cause.
If you have Norton AntiVirus installed, turn off autocheck.
If you have Norton Utilities installed, uninstall it. Remove any .kext
(kernal extensions) associated with it.
hold down the Command-S keys. Continue
holding them down until you see some rather obnoxious looking old ASCII
text go streaming down the screen. This means you are booted up outside
the Jaguar User GUI and can directly perform file system repairs
*fsck -y
(All this means in code is "File System Check, yes to all" It
will immediately start running through your boot partition and looking
for and correcting any problems)
