Capturing HDV with Canon XL-H1 (PAL)
Disconnect all cables, set the [Playback Std] to [HDV], set the [HD Down-Conv] to [OFF].
Connect the cables.
In FCP 5.1.2 set the easy setup to HDV-1080i50.
After verifying you can capture with it, you can change settings.. (Isn’t really necessary)
I don’t know if it works with 5.0.4 or 5.1 because I bought 5.1 and updated it to 5.1.2.
I thought the problem was the software, but it turned out to be the camera.
