HDV Capture wierd problem.
I am trying to capture HDV 720p30 being played through a Sony HVR M10U. I am using a firewire to connect VTR with the Imac.
Log & capture window seems to be communicating fine but there is no preview in the window, just a black screen. VTR can be controlled through the capture window i.e playing the tape, rewinding it etc. I can see the tapes playing fine on VTR lcd.
I have tried various capture settings including HDV easy setup but no luck. DV tapes capture fine on this same system.

Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.” — Carl Ally

I am having the same basic problem, but with a JVC BR-HD50U and powerbook with FCP 6 as well as additional problems. I just had the firewire in the HD50 repaired and have, in the interim, successfully been using a JVC GY-HD100U as a playback deck.
With the repaired HD50 deck installed I also am having a problem with deck/display controls. The Log & Capture window indicates “VTR-OK”. But when I click the play button in the Log & Capture window the deck (delayed about 5 sec.) plays with only black in the LC window and with all zeros on the Time Code display. Click stop and deck (also delayed) stops . . . now with all zeros in its TC reader; then a freeze frame of the stopped frame appears in the Log & Capture window. Click on the stop button a second time and the correct TC appears. This action repeats.
By going back to the GY-HD100U as a play deck I now have the same problem as with the HD50.It seems like a software problem, but I have no experience with anything like this. Certainly could use some help.
Thanks.
