    Hi Everyone,
    I can’t get print to video to work. I’m trying to finish an HDV project and output it to tape. When I try, it just gives me the start video recorder (I’m using the Sony HDV M1)message, when I do, nothing comes through on the tape. Every time I did this before there was a long Conforming HDV period and then start video recorder message. I’ve tried everything I can think of the settings are all for HDV, Sony HDV firewire…I know I must be missing something. It’s almost like its treating HDV as DV, but everything is HDV. Thoughts?
    regards,
    eph.

    eph- All the settings have to be right on. Sometimes I’ve had to start at ground zero. Quit out of FCP. Turn off the deck. Turn on the deck. Make sure the menu settings are correct in the deck; all in/out settings are set to HDV. Turn on deck. Disconnect all other firewire devices. Connect deck firewire. Go to apple menu>about this mac>more info>firewire. Is the deck listed? If it is launch your HDV firewire project and go to audio/video settings.

    Welcome to the HDV world.
    I think the best and the simpliest thing to do is to change your compressor codec in the secuence settings from HDV 1080i… to the apple intermediate codec. The problem is that you will have to re-render all the secuence again, but after that everything is going to work just fine. Larry Jordan told me that.
