    I’m trying to get video from a Canon HV20 into Final Cut Pro7.
    I get this message when I open Log and Capture:
    Unable to Initialize Capture Device
    and after okaying, in the Log and Capture window: No Communication

    Easy Setup settings:
    Format: HDV
    Rate: 29.97 fps
    Use: HDV – 1080p30 Basic

    I put the Canon in Play mode. It is set to SP for rec mode, audio 16bit, TV type 16:9,comp.out 1080i, DV output HDV/DV.
    I’ve tried two Firewire cables.
    I’ve done this in the past. I usually load from a Sanyo Xacti. I must have changed some settings but I don’t know how to set it so it recognizes the Canon.
