Cant see DV PAL footage through FW
I just got a tape from a guy in Europe and he sent me a PAL DV tape, my Sony DSR 45 will play the tape, but my preview in FCP says disabled even though it is all set for PAL….any ideas what I might be doing wrong? thks…

Choose the PAL DV Easy setup. Check that video is not disabled on the audio/video section of the log and capture window. Check your firewire connection – power down the computer, disconnect deck, repower computer, connect deck, open FCP.
Any joy?

Not sure if you can capture PAL from the DSR-45. Even though it plays the tape, you can not change the setting on the deck to pal like you can the DSR-11.
I captured a pal DV tape yesterday with my DSR-11 and converted it to NTSC using compressor. The process was flawless and fast. 7 minute video converted in 2 minutes.
