HDV Capture on FCP 5.1.4
I am having huge problems capturing HDV1080i from SONY HDR-FX1000E camera. I have set everything on the camera to HDV output, turned off iLink, although it still says HDVin iLink on the view/display LCD on the camera, Chose Easy Set Up HDV and because I am in Australia where the video format is PAL HDV 1080i 50 sequence. Now, when I control the deck through log and capture I get a black screen in FCP – no video vision, but it all plays well on the camera, then when I press capture now, or try to capture a log it says waiting for data from device, then it stops and gives me a no data from device error message.
The only way I can capture is using the capture now and digitising to the Apple Intermediate Codec preset. This is a solution, but I get no time code or device control.
The other thought is as I am running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on a mac book pro 3.06 GHz with 8 GB RAM, I installed Quicktime 7.5 on the system as I found I could not export form Quicktime 10, maybe there is a conflict there as I now have both.
Can anyone please help?
Regards Adam

Adam did anyone post a solution? I to have a similar probelm with FCP5.1.4, Snow Leopard and Quicktime 7 Pro…The Mac won’t even see the deck and flags a HDV-DV error??? The same system running Avid will start to capture at 1080i MXF but stops after a few seconds. If I use iMovie 6 the system captures 1920x1080i to Apple Int. Code perfectly without dramas!
