    You are getting a picture for a bit before it quits, though?

    What kind of drive are you capturing to? Maybe it can’t keep up?

    no i am getting no drive, and the problem seems to be with the deck, i’ve tried to an internal drive, our SAN network, and an external drive, all with the same problems, imovie, isn’t helping me out either….alas…

    Is the deck in HDV mode? Is the iLink (Firewire) set to NOT downconvert. Downconvert is Default on that deck.

    i have been able to capture in imovie, but not FCP, it seems to be something to do with the a/v setting, they are “missing” in the playback options
