I just captured about 10 minutes worth of footage from a Varicam tape (all shot at 50fps, for 25fps project).
The project setting I used to capture was "Generic OHCI HD 50Hz 960x720 25p over 60p" and the capture mode was "DVCPRO HD 720 Constant Rate Shooting over 60p"
That all seems to have worked, I have 20 clips from the tape, and I've layed them all out on a timeline. However I can't play them. If I try to play the timeline, it plays a second or so, then freezes up and skips to the end of the clip. If I try to play in the Player monitor, I just seems to freeze up the whole application.
The clips have all be captured onto a pair of striped SATA drives (that are more than capable of playback of up to 220mb/s DNxHD media in Avid).
My intention is to capture the 50fps clips from the 60Hz Varicam tape and lay them onto a new 720/50Hz tape at 25fps (to that end I've tried switching my Project Type to "Generic OHCI HD 50Hz 960x720 25p over 50p" after the capture, but it behaves exactly the same).
[Edit to add:]
In my own trouble shooting, I've switch the deck between 50Hz and 60Hz modes (and the Project setting to match, or not) and it behaves the same.
However, switching the deck off seems to correct the problem, so it's something to do with the deck and Edius' communication with the deck. Which is problematic, as the point of this is that I want to create a 50Hz tape with my footage on it.
