Your capture settings should match your tape format. You mention DVCProHD and mini-DV and HVX200. I’ve not used a 200, but I’m fairly certain it only records DV to tape. So, try using a DV or DVCPro (NOT HD) setting and see what happens.

Hello John and Malinda,
John, you are 100% correct about the HVX200 recording ONLY DV to tape.
All HD of whatever format is recorded only to the P2 card or an external FireStor drive, etc. HD 720p footage can be down converted to the miniDV tape if desired, and will preserve different frame rates, etc. but it will be only DV in the standard format.Eric

I’ve adjusted the capture settings to match, in the exact same scenario, but I’m getting a huge loss in quality (and lots of jagged edges) in the DV footage I’m bringing into FCP. Something must not be right, because it’s the image looks great in the camera and also in FCP’s Log and Capture preview window.
Any thoughts?
