    Hi everybody, i’m quite new here.
    Well, here’s what: i’ve downscaled my HDV video to PAL 25p and now i’m exportin’ to tape (premiere cs4) but…
    On mac, or even on windows, when i click on “record” it goes to the correct in point TC and then it tells me “REC INHIBIT” on the cameras lcd. Obviously the mini dv tape isn’t protected and there’s no protection setting turned on in the camera. I’ve watched in premiere if even there is a protection setting but.. Nothing. I’m exporting a 3’29” video on a jvc hd110 by firewire.
    Before this i had no problem capturing, editing or exporting media but now i can’t fix this issue… I haven’t find no web help for this situation. Will Creative Cow help me resolve this important problem?? 😉

    thanx a lot

    Giulio,
    Had simailar problem with a Canon HV20 which ran at 25fps. But, I had set the project at 30fps and not 25fps. The Canon would not recognise the Export to tape at the wrong speed.However, in premiere pro if you export to movie, you will automatically transcode to Cineform avi. which is easliy exported. The result in 1440 x 1080 is stunning and full HD not downgraded.

    Hi dear Bob!
    I haven’t clearly understand your answer (my english isn’t really good..:-( )
    If you mean that maybe my timeline is set on a different fps respect the camera, i’m sure that it doesn’t.
    About exporting a media: i need it on tape cause the short film contest request it.
    Is there any way to fix this problem?

    Thanks

    Giulio,
    There were problems with a JVC JY-HD10U.

    Note Adobe says: This model is not supported in 1080i, thus only capture to tape for 720p is supported , plus other issues.
    However, if your camera runs at 25 fps PAL and you have definitely set your Projet to 25 fps it should work. If not, Export the timeline to Movie and set the Settings correctly. You should end up with a Cineform avi file.Re import the file into a new Project (check the settings) and now export to the videocamera. Check the IEEE 1394A Firewire is installed correctly and not loose, make sure the videocamera is on prior to activating Premiere.Make sure you have hit Execute and it is in record mode, you may need to manually start it, in a perfect world it may not automatically do so.

    Good luck.It does work for a Canon HV20 .

    Ps. That is if Export to Tape gives you the error message, go to Export to Movie ( but, you must set your settings Pre Code, Video etc.This will not Export to Tape immediately but, will save you the file and if you have told itso, will end up in the project, you then take the file ( Import into new Project and then Export to Tape)

    The best of British luck !

    Thanks for such support Bob! 😉

    When i say HDV i mean the 720p format, 1280×720, wich is supported by the jvc hd 110; i’m sure of that, i’ve recorded with it!

    I will try exporting an .avi file and then reimporting it in a new proj.

    …But i have to say that this “REC INHIBIT” issue is very strange…
    It’s like if i forgot to check something very simple, very stupid… But i don’t really know what it could be! oh gosh…

    Well thanks a lot Bob, hope for good news!!

    Well, I hope so.
    The Canon HV20 said “Check HD/SD Input” and would not record untill I changed the project settings ;( I had actually set the Project to 30fps to suit a Canon EOS 5 D mark II, a big error); to suit the videocamera in avi 1920 x 1080 or 1440 x 1080 @25fps.And we work on 30min and 45 min projects, I was tearing my hair out in frustration.
