Do you have an external hard drive connected to your laptop for media capture, or are you trying to capture your footage to your startup drive?
Have you tried a batch capture using in and out points instead of using the “Capture Now” command?– Don

[Giulietta] “Do I have to recapture everything or can I simply change the setting and restart the program?”
You don’t even need to restart the program. Just go to the browser window and put a check mark in the anamorphic box next to each clip you want to change. Or you can control-click the clip in the timeline, choose item properties>format from the pop-up menu. Put a checkmark next to Anamorphic. Your clip(s) should magically expand to the 16:9 aspect ratio.

The article at the link below should give you a better understanding of the workflow involved in getting your DVX100B 24p project onto DVD using Final Cut Pro:

Try this first, as this may be a Quicktime issue:

Sadly, there is no function you missed. FCP doesn’t have a ‘follow the playhead function’ when it gets to the end of your viewable timeline. You can follow it manually however, by holding the shift button and hitting “page down”

[john1977] “Could it simply be my firewire cable or is it FCP related?”
It’s probbly Quicktime related. If you’re using Quicktime 7 try this:

If you’re back using FCP 4.5 then you should really be using Quicktime 6.5.2 with it as they’re more compatible.

Yes. If you’re using FCP go to: Export>Quicktime Conversion. Instead of choosing some form of movie export, choose still image. Click on options and you can even choose what still format you want.

[CanadianGuy] “Is there a way to combine the clips from one camera into one large clip so that I only have two clips for the multiclip (one from each camera)?”
Don’t know. What I would do in this case is to make a multiclip for each of the corresponding tapes from the 2 cameras. But you already knew that, right? Since you said that your timecode was sync’d it shouldn’t be too much of a problem to do this little task.
[CanadianGuy] “I want all 4 channels in the timeline in their entirety and then I will cut back and forth from 1 camera’s video to the other.”
Put your clips into the timeline and sync them just like the old days before multiclips. Then take your multiclips and frame match them to the tracks already in the timeline. Put the multiclips above the other clips. Mute the multiclip audio and you’ll have your 4 audio tracks always active while still using the multicllip feature.

This is the procedure for recording analog to Mini-DV with a GL2. Check the owner’s manual for your GL1 but it’s probably similar:
Go to VCR setup > AV-DV Out in the camera menu. Set this to OFF. Now the signal should be sent through to the RCA/S-Video conections instead of the DV/Firewire connection.
