FIGURE THIS ONE OUT!
I am having the same problem. I cannot capture HDV from my hv20 in fcp 6.0.6. I have tried everything and read tons of forums so I really need help.

Here are the important camera settings:
Output: HDV/DV
AV-DV: ON

FCP Settings:
Chose easy setup HDV 1080i60 with the firewire basic

I believe all of this is correct. I’ve tried it on multiple computers old and new both with FCP 6 on them. I can get the footage that was shot in HDV to upload when everything is set to DV NTSC. The footage comes out widescreen but it is not HD. The “open in rosetta” box was not checked and i’ve tried tons of other combos of settings. The camera is property of my school and so are the computers meaning they have access restrictions on them but i don’t see why that would matter. I’ve been using a 4-port to 6-port firewire cable and even that cable going into a switcher box that outputs at 9-port firewire. I am thoroughly confused. PLEASE HELP!
