I too have been trying to import edited DV tapes into FCPX Pro and also had to use an unwieldy number of cables. I achieved success in that, yes, I could import. However I have hit a serious problem. My edited tape is broken up into its individual shots though it keeps the edited sound with it. Somehow these individual shots have kept a record of when they were first recorded and appear in my browser in that order. Reasembling them is an entire new jigsaw like edit as the sound needs to match up. I have FCP7 on an old computer, where this was never a problem, and am going to have to dig it out to try and get round this problem and import edited programmes as a whole. Have you hit this problem and have you found a workaround? My Googling suggested the problem was down to time code breaks or dodgy tapes. My problem does not appear to agree with that.
