another cry for help
i can get playback on an external monitor, but i cannot capture from deck, nor print to tape. its really weird.
its not communicating correctly.i have a kona lhe,
and hdv tape deck connected through firewireThings its doing:
1. when printing to tape: it will export the tape setup correctly, but as soon as it hits program video, the deck goes black screen, and the computer soon after stops play and reports that frames were dropped.2 no video during capture from device. it will control the device. it can cue the tape, preroll, but when it starts playing, and at the time it normal begins to record, the deck will continue to playing, while the capture screen on the computer is black and says “cueing”. so basically i cant capture
3 occasionally when playing video on the timeline with video playback set to “off”… final cut will stop playback, and the tapedeck will show the current frame. (that one is really wierd)
So what ive tried:
1 swapped fw cable and dv deck; tried different fw port
2 tried new project and new format
3 reinstalled final cut and trashed permissions
4 did the obvious stuff like check audio/video settings
any clues?

did you check your kona controlPanel? is your signal routed to the card instead of firewire?? You really dont need to go through the card if you are using firewire.

What kind of deck(s) are you connected to? And how is your LH figuring into all this?

sorry
i guess im not really using the card in this scenario. it has nothing to do with the problem
and my deck is the sony m10u (hdv)im working with both dv and hdv, and im getting these problems

Oh, well, in that case save yourself the trouble and just play your timeline to tape. Print to Tape has always been problematic, useless at my shop…
