  check your capture settings,,

  your sure you shot SD (DV)?

  try DEVICE CONTROL: FireWire NTSC (***not basic)
  CAPTURE/INPUT: DV NTSC 48 KHz

  i even changed the settings in the canon xh-a1 to non HD…..i went through FCP changed the settings??? i’m lost, but ill keep trying. i think it might be the tapes. i put back in a tape that i shot in HD 24p and reset the FCP capture setting for HD and it’s fine

  did you do this before shooting or after, I do not believe that the cannon will down-convert in camera

  You are going to have to find out how it was shot to be able to capture it correctly.
