  • Help! Can’t capture from camera to MacBookPro

    Posted by Wdewde on July 7, 2007 at 12:35 pm

    At work three of us have MacBookPro 15″ new last March with
    Final Cut Express. We capture from Panasonic DVC-30. Now I’m
    the only one who can capture. The people at the Apple store say
    that everything is okay; it must be a setting or switch on the
    camera.

    Our Panasonic vendor says that there is no such switch or setting
    and that the camera is okay. Have swapped out Firewires and
    attempted to narrow down all variables. In between the camera
    and
    laptop we use a Belkin 6-Port Hub which checks out okay.

    Under “Easy Setup” I have

    Setup For: Custom Setup

    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 khz
    Capture Preset DV NTSC 48 khz
    Device Control Preset Firewire NTSC Basic
    Playback output video: None
    Playback output audio: Firewire DV
    PTV Output video: same as playback
    PTV Output audio: same as playback

    Also can’t print to tape and so must go through i-DVD, burn
    a DVD and then dub that to tape for playback at our access station.

    Does anybody have any idea what’s up with this? THANKS!

    [WDEWDE] “In between the camera
    and laptop we use a Belkin 6-Port Hub which checks out okay.”

    Does it work if it is connected directly to the laptop, bypassing the hub?

    Thanks for asking but we’ve left the hub out and attempted to capture directly to the
    laptop hard drive but no go.
