Im not 100% but I think you are correct about not being able to export those file types. Mac has a great video converter called “Handbrake” Its free and does a great job converting files.
I simply dubbed the HDV footage to a DV camera using RCA cables. I know Im going to have a loss of quality, but I didnt have access to a JVC camera or deck. My client said next time he has a project he is just going to have me shoot it ; )
When I play the tape in the Sony HVR FX1, the viewscreen tells me that it is HDV720p. FCP recognizes and can control the deck, but just can not capture.
This is frustrating me to no end! Is there a way around this? Possibly dubbing to DV?
I am not sure what it was shot on. I received the tapes from a client to edit. As I stated before, the camera is playing the footage, but FC is not capturing it.
I changed the settings to the ones specified on that page, and then got this message : “Capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data from device. Check your connections and that the deck is playing.”
FC was controlling the camera, video was playing but nothing was captured.
