Has the audio ever worked on this LA? If you capture from a professional tape does the audio work (ie from a BetaSP or similiar deck)? DO you have reference going to the LA? How exactly is your system set up? ARe you using deck control, or is it set for a non controlled device? Have you downloaded the latest firmware? Do the little lights on the front correspond to the setup you are trying to use? Are you sure you are going into the LA ins? Is that breakout cable fully plugged in?

Then I would say you need to convert the PAL to NTSC. Check out Graeme Nattress’s’s’s’ plug-in for this. It’s called standards converter and you can find it at http://www.nattress.com It does a great job for a great price…and as Graeme says, “the best darn tech support in the business…” There’s a free demo for your perusal and testing.

You need MPEG streamclip. The latest version is 1.5. It’s free and does a great job.

Well, first of all, why are you changing from 720×486 to 720×480? If you want the 720×480 frame size, you should work in DV and not uncompressed 8 Bit. That might be one of your problems, don’t know why this would happen, but maybe.

Next, if you are in FCP5 click on the clip settings tab of the log & capture window and make sure the tickbox for both video and audio are selected and that the proper channels are turned on for your audio settings (channels 1&2, dual mono, stereo, whatever you want).

Are you speaking of some kind of PCI or PCI-X to PCIe adapter? I don’t know if those would work as I have no experience with them, but it sounds like a pain in the a** to trouble shoot. Also, it will probably be more expensive than a new Kona, PICe standard definition card, whenever that comes out.

Hey Bob. Have you checked out the JVC equivalent of the 20L5? Just wondering as you seem to look at a lot of gear. Some people on the cow give it favorable reviews and I’m curious as I have not seen it in person. The model number is:

DT-V1910CGU

The link to it is here:

Large stripes? Is there a way you can post a screen grab?

Forgot to mention that my b&t was 1 minute long (if you didn’t figure out the math) 😉
