Matt,
I’m sure by now you have already solved this problem, but here’s what we do to master to DSR45 via firewire:
Project Settings:
Codecs: (aquire/import+firewire out)
SET TO DV
Preferences:
Video Output: (output HDe change to DV)
SET TO DV and Select DV Deck for control too.
Device Control:
Set to Firewire and Select deck too.
You should now see an image on the DVCam monitor screen, but make sure you selected DV in on the DSR45 (you won’t hear sound thru your speakers as this is now routed via the Firewire, but check the sound input with the ‘display select’ switch on the DSR45. Now Master to Tape (within File Menu).
It took me ages to solve this ouput problem too and I never thought I was going to be able to master back to DVCam, but this makes things work OK for me.
