i have been its care taker for the last year for my office, so its in good shape, and like i said, its only been powered up, not writing to the P2 drive since i got it 2 years ago.

That is what i thought, it seems like a store demo camera, just powering up. I might pull the triger.

Ok, after intense research and testing here is what i came up with

This WILL work, but its a tricky work around

1.
Final Cut 6 will not let you get a capture from an HDV source with out a time code (non controllable device)
– Hopefully the DVCPRO feed from a HVX will let you use a non contr device, would make my life easier

2.
Since you can t capture a HDV signal with out a time code, I found a feature in my Sony V1U menu under time code that said (TC: Rec Run or Free Run)
– I selected Free run, popped in a tape and hit REC for a sec, then paused it. I guess when you start a TC and hit free run it continues to generate it whether its REC or not. and there fore will continue to record in HDV. As i type now i am continuing to record 20 min + of HD footage.

when i go to Audio video settings, I select:
Sequence Preset: HDV 1080i (for the V1U)
Capture Preset: HDV
Devcice Control Preset: non Controllable Device

To that i get:
To Capture HDV material, both the Capture and the Device Control Presets must be configured for HDV: Otherwise to capture in another format. both must not be configured to HDV.

I understand the limitations of this record method and again, deem it better than having a cam lay dormant. So the HVX is DVCPro when streaming. Thats good to know, thanks.

wow

raylight is 195.00

this was just for some home movies, good to know that its out there, but that is a little bit more than i think this footage is worth to me.

thanks for the knowledge though

what i mean to ask really is can i render it on the timeline and then send it as a render HDV 1080i to my Z1u and re import it to FCP as a workable 1080i?

is this a OSX option as well?
can i just render it on the timeline of FCP or import it as if it were 1080i?
