I did all of the above except unplugging and plugging the FW cable with the camera on. Ive heard many stories of FW ports dieting on Z1’s for doing just that.
In any case, here is more info. I can capture HDV with no problem on iMovie and Final Cut Pro X. Not a glitch whatsoever. The Z1 is set to play HDV (not auto), down convert is off and the tape is HDV.
Oh, and BTW, I hooked it up to a Win7 PC running the same version of PP and it captures HDV with no problem also.
This is making me go crazy!
