    Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup > Choose the HDV preset that matches your raw footage.

    Yeah like walter said it’s best to use an Easy Setup that matches the footage you’re dealing with. It will also change your device control preset for you when you do that (should be firewire).

    As far as checking the capture setting, just pay attention to the columns in your browser that show frame size and codec of the video. This should give you the information you’re looking for.
