Unable to Initialize Capture Device
I’m sure this is some simple setting – but cannot figure it out.
I am trying to capture some tapes shot in DV.
I have two options for capture.
1. From my Sony HDV 1080i/MiniDV camera
2. From my Sony DVCAM DSR-20 deckI have no trouble capturing footage shot in the Sony HDV (above). Works like a charm. But now I am trying to capture regular DV (shot on a different camera). And I cannot get it to capture from either of the two decks above.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can I change settings on the camera (above) to allow me to use it for capture of these DV tapes?
2. If not, what settings do I need to change within FCP to allow me to capture from the DVCAM deck?I am using FCP 6.0.6 on a MacBook Pro running 10.6.3.
Again, when capturing footage shot on my camera everything is working just fine. It is when trying to capture these regular DV tapes that I am hitting a barrier.
Thanks for your kind help. JD

This happened to me the other day when a client brought in an HDV deck. No matter what we tried we couldn’t capture HDV. It turned out he had his deck set to down-convert to DV. When we switched it HDV all was well.
