    Try the HDV FireWire Basic setting.

    that’s where it has been. i’m going to try the non-basic today…

    the funny thing is last night (with the basic setting) it re-captured the first clip fine, but nothing since…

    thanks again!

    Uh-oh…

    Mortimer, have you checked the TC on clip witht the TC on tape? Are they identical?

    The fact that the first clip captures but subsequent clips don’t, instantly makes me think of TC breaks in the source that have been digitised over without creating new clips… I hope it isn’t the case though.

    Check an obvious shot in your footage against the tape equivalent. Let us know.
