    First of all, connect a video monitor. Preview is never disabled there. Many do not work with a monitor while capturing. I don’t know why….

    Secondly, trash your FCP Prefs files. That will usually get your preview to kick back in.

    If you are daisy chaining a cam to a FireWire drive, that can also cause this problem. Most people need to get a PCI card (tower) or PCMCIA card(PowerBook) to put the cam/deck and drives on separate buses.
