capture miniDV problems Premiere (new & old)

[Todd Perchert]

Is this with a FW400 4 pin? Does it seat well? I captured a great deal of miniDV a few years back using an old Macbook and Sony deck. Had a difficult time getting it to stay capturing, similar to what you are having. Ended up, I had an issue that tiny connector not seating well. I gaff taped the cable connector tightly to the deck and was able to capture fine – had to put a little pressure in one direction to get it to work properly. You might want to see if that could be an issue or if there is some other problem. That 4 pin connector was the absolute worst.

Thanks Todd,

It’s a 400 to 800 fw connector but I’ll keep and eye peeled for looseness
