    Hello,

    I am trying to Print to Video, however, I am running into one issue. While recording to the tape (mini DV) at every transition the image becomes letter boxed and squished for some reason. This does not happen during any other play back method, just when it is coming through the camera. Any ideas on how to fix this.

    Well I figured it out! I fixed it by applying the widescreen effect to the entire sequence. I hope this helps someone else someday, I spent too many hours trying to work this Print To Video.

    Another little tip that helped me was when you first attach the camera put it in Camera mode and then go to View >> Video Out >> Refresh Video Devices and then you can select the proper firewire device (I was unable to see that option until I did that). Then switch it to VCR mode.
