    FCP might not recognise your HV20. It doesnt recognise my HV30. Use IMovie. First start Imovie and then connect the firewire cable. I fit doesnt restart your computer and your camera. It should work. Try manual import.

    the HG20 is a file based camera. You should use Log and Transfer instead of log and capture.

    hmm… I wonder what this button does…
