Thanks. FCP documentation suggested trashing the Preferences File for troubleshooting. So did that. Did not work.
But I’m not sure that I am correctly digitizing the tape during the Capture.
I thought that FCP 5 included the HDV codec but now not sure about that given the FCP Compresssor Fields in the Browser and in the Clip Item Properties had nothing in those columns.
Do I need additional HW or SW?
My Capture Prest is: HDV.
Capture Preset is: SONY HDV Firewire.
