Recording Live from HVX to FCP
I’ve connected the HVX to a Macbook Pro by the 1394 cable. My FCP scratch disk is an external hard drive. I’d like to capture live video from the HVX to the hard drive. I used free run to generate time code but when I go into Log and Capture, hit capture now, it tells me I need to be in VTR mode to record.
Everything I read tells me this can be done. So either my set up is wrong with the HVX, FCP, or both.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Dana -

Hello
I am trying to do the same thing, but recording live into a deck (sony HD700 Walkman).
Maybe you need to download first into your local drive and then make a copy into
the external drive. I get drop frames when working directly into an external HD>good luck

Dropped frames means drie not fast enough or data througphut
Make sure you use a separate bus (ie a card) for second set of ports… can’t ingest and write at same time (in out over same bus)

This is a HDV deck so unless you have the camera and the deck set to DV25 there is no way of getting it to record a DVCProHD signal.
