Hey,

Wanted to update you: Turned out the camera needed a cleaning. I ran a cleaning tape through it, everything is fine.

Thanks again for your responses.

Yea, it’s the same story on the LCD. Image on FF, RW, but not on play…

Thanks for all your help Jeff.

I’m starting to think the tape/footage is the issue. I’ve never had this problem before, and the tape has been used more than once.

Thanks again.

Hey Jeff,

Once again, thanks for responding. I’m still getting the initial problem with being able to control the device through Premiere, but no capture capabilities. It also shows no image when pushing play. Only with fast forward and rewind.

Thank you very much for your response.

Unfortunately, when VCR setting is set to DV, the computer sees the camera, and gives me the usual prompts. However, Premiere says “Can’t activate recorder. Try resetting camera.” Resetting the camera does not seem to work. Could this be an issue with the tape?

For informational purposes, when changing these settings I:

1) unplug the firewire and close premiere
2) I go into the camera menu and change VCR Setting to “DV”
3) I make sure I.Link Conv’t is “OFF”
4) I turn the camera off, plug in the firewire, and turn the camera on
5) The prompt pops up, I choose take no action, and launch Premiere manually
6) In the capture controls, above the viewer, it says “Can’t activate recorder. Try resetting camera.”

Again, thanks for the initial response. I wish it had worked…
