Problem with Firewire

[Jeremy Garchow]

[David Smith] “Do you have anything else attached to any of the FW ports on your machine?”

That was going to be the exact question I was going to ask next.

If the Kona LH works and firewire doesn’t, it sounds to me like you you don’t have your capture preset set properly, or you have other firewire devices hooked to your machine.

To capture via firewire, simply hit control-q and choose dv ntsc. You should be fine if your dv deck is attached at that point. I’d recommend capturing with the Kona as it’s much easier (and works), and you can capture your footage at a higher quality codec to gain some quality in all of your effects and text in your timeline.
