Found this on an avid forum:
I load the tape, select clips and hit batch capture. then a window pops up telling me that the wrong tape was inserted. it expected non drop and a drop frame was inserted…. I cant get past this, even if i try to shuttle around manualy on the deck, restart, etc.
Avid apparently has a serious engineering problem when it comes to Firewire.
I’ve never seen this problem using RS-422 deck control and SDI inputs.
Solution is to be playing the tape on the deck before you open the capture tool.
Then choose batch capture.
After each tape, close the capture tool, put in the new tape and be playing (make sure not to be in rogue TC)
This is actually a very normal behavior when capturing through FW. You have to play the tape for a little while before the AVID grabs the correct code.
