    I have tried re-starting. Playing the the tape. Re-fresh A/V devices. Re-connecting the deck with power off. Connecting the camera and trying to use it as a deck. NO LUCK!

    Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything’s connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you’re using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime you are using.

    All the best,

    Tom

    if you have set your Easy Setup for HDV capture and refreshed the A/V devices and still get no joy with your camera/deck then the chances are high that your camera/deck is currently set to downconvert the output to (SD) DV. Check your camera/deck settings and if found then turn OFF downconvert.
