Hi Scott,
Thanks for that yes it was all in order. I have mucked around though with the player menu and somehow got it to work – all I have to do now is retrace my steps and work out what I did!
Avid Media Composer Version 3.5 doesn’t recognise, or have in it’s deck settings, the Sony HVR-M15AE, which means Avid doesn’t talk to it very well when capturing or ouputting because I have to select another (different) HVR deck from the list – Dan
