Are you decomposing before batch capturing?. What if you drag the clips from the decompose into the capture tool and then try to capture that as a regular clip? I know you said you can capture directly and mark and in and out and capture that. I believe you said you could then batch capture those clips so there is something about the problem clips metadata that is telling avid there is something wrong. I've had clips that had been captured in a true 720P 59.94 project that were cut into a 1080I 59.94 project and they would not capture into the project. There was differently something in the clips that wouldn't play nice. There was also some strangeness between the 60 frame time code and 30 frame. At one point the problem clips had time in's and out's that were double the actual value or some such nonsense which we attributed to however Avid fakes the 60 frame code into 30 frame where each field becomes one of the progressive frames. Ultimately they were able to use the source time code values in the sequence and manually recaptured according to them and eye matched. I forget exactly how the generated the clips that had time code values doubled. Just to clarify you are in a 720P 59.94 project. What if you create a new project at 720P 29.97P and see if the bin of clips will capture in that. I'm thinking Avid is having some issue with the mix and match nature of things and doesn't see your problems clips as true 720P 59.94 but perhaps as 29.97P clips that you would get when capturing in the 720P 29.97P project. Just throwing that out but I don't know for sure.
