capturing problems
Hi,
My macbook pro (OS) with final cut studio has been working perfectly since I got it about two months ago. But today I went to capture some DV footage from my Canon XHA1 and it decided not to play ball – for no reason at all that I can see!!
It captures for about three seconds then comes up with a message that it is having problems reading the source data and it may be a problem with my source tape.
The settings all seem to be correct, I have tried different tapes, a different camera (Sony) and a different firewire but nothing seems to work. I have also tried capturing into i-movie and no luck there either.
Any ideas anybody?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jess,
If you can not record with iMovie is very likely a FW problem.
You can have a try with the QT recorder. If you are unable, check the FW again and the bus. Try connecting a FW drive.

Thanks for your quick response!
I have tried a couple of different firewires so I don’t think it is that, but I am going to try your other suggestions.
Thanks again

I don’t know for sure as I haven’t done this before, but I am pretty sure the camera needs to be in dv 1394 mode instead of HDV.

Hey! I’m In china and I rented a Sony Z1 camera and filmed a lot of footage, now I seted up everything for it in my FCP, I can see everything in the Log and Capture setting but as soon as I start to capture it captures for like 4 seconds and stops saying that there was an error with the tape and that it stopt and saved my footage, but I have tried about 4 tapes now! and same problem I also tried to digitize to my own computers HD and nothing because I use a Lacie 500gb external drive in firewire800 and the camera is connected in Firewire 400 but I cant seem to capture, now I have erased the FCP preferences and started from scratch and still cant get it to work!! any help please??
