hdv set-ups
I ran into some spare time today & decided to get started messing with settings for when the big day hits next year. I’ve recorded some hdv footage on my hvrz1u & used the easy setup to create a sequence for that format. I can playback on the computer monitor, but when I try to playback to a deck(HVR-M15U), I get nothing. When I checked the audio video settings-playback options, HDV is grayed out & unavailable. The deck was set up for hdv also & everything was shut down & restarted. Any ideas ?

You can’t monitor HDV via Firewire through a deck. You require a capture card, an AJA Io, a Maxtrox MXO or something along those lines.
You can search this forum and you’ll find lots of examples of how to view HDV. Personally, we never edit HDV, we convert it to DVCPro HD or ProRes on the way in.

Try the new FCS 2 hability to capture directly HDV in Prores without any card.
Or convert in the timeline settings to pro res codec and re render.
If you really want to monitor HDV.
mmmm
Get a Matrox MXO or a Blackmagic HDlink -
I just captured a film shot with the Canon XL-H1 HDV and via firewire brought it into FCP 6.0.2 as ProRes 422 HQ on the fly. I’ll be cutting it on a system with a Kona 3. But no more HDV I or P frames.

Walter, I know you can’t monitor hdv thru firewire – it looks scrunched. But I used to be able to print to video. With FCP6 I can’t. Any thoughts. Dual 2.5 G5. Sony HR-M15u.

“I know you can’t monitor hdv thru firewire – it looks scrunched.”
If it looks scrunched then you’re working in a DV sequence, not an HDV sequence. HDV will not output at all via FireWire except in print to video mode. You can’t output DV to a deck set to record HDV.
All the best,
Tom
