[Avid-L2] Re: Cannot Capture because the tape is not a 59.94 tape.

Walter,
At first blush everythign looks ok..... but with the launch today, I wont be able to check all the posts on this so it might be a good idea to call support and net it out quickly. When you registered the MC you got an Avid serive code to use when calling in. 800-800-2843
If you need another ping me off the L2 and I will give you one.
