How to capture HDV from Sony Hard drive, very stuck

[Brendan Maghran]

Hey guys,

I FINALLY figured this hard drive thing out, thank you so much for helping me out. Ed, thanks for continually posting back and forth with me, it really clarified some things for me. I’m still in school, and most of my teacher are FCP only, which makes no sense since both FCP and Avid are necessary. I have to learn a lot of avid tips and tricks by myself, like how to work with this hard drive. Thanks again to both of you for helping me out in a tight spot.

Sincerely,
Brendan

I would definitely follow the instructions that these fine people posted, I was at 30 fps, 1080i. Just make sure your project settings are as Birger posted, it worked for me!
