Thank you Walter for your suggestion. I went to Easy SetUp/HD for format and selected HDV-1080i60 Firewire Basic and still did not get communications with VTR.
The VRT is my Canon XHA1 Camera. I did not use my DVCAM Sony deck. I don’t believe it will capture HD.
Another couple of question: Will the DVCAM read HD? Does it make a difference if the tape is used in the DVCAM deck or camera?
I know these questions may not be answered but thought you might have a suggestion. Thank you again.
