  FCP won’t recognize dv deck

  Posted by Dan O’brien on May 26, 2007 at 3:00 am

  I have a sony dvcam deck that I’ve always used for capturing. It’s connected via firewire to my G5. For some reason FCP 5 now won’t recognize the deck. On launch, it says it can’t locate the Apple Firewire device, and in my setups it says “missing”. I’ve checked all connections, have a brand new firewire cable, and have recently used the deck for capture. Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance…

  I forgot to mention that I’ve got deck control with the capture tool, but there’s no video in the preview window (it says unavailable) and it won’t capture anything…

  If you’ve updated Quicktime recently it could be this:

  That’s exactly what it was. Thanks for the help.
