As strange as this sounds, try using Windows Movie maker. I’ve had good success with HDV formats. You should get an .avi, and then you can import into MC.

Do you have Sorenson Squeeze? How about DVDit? Both come with the full version of MC. Either one will give you good encoding results.

Yes, Sorenson will read a QT reference.

Make sure your camera is spitting out the same format as you expect your Firestore to record – i.e. – If the Firestore keeps flipping back to an unexpected resolution, make sure your camera is set to, say, DVCPro50.
Make sure your drop / non-drop match between camera and Firestore.
If you want to control the Firestore with your camera, make sure the control in the Firestore is set to tapeless in two places – don’t remember where in the menu settings, though… The camera needs to be set to external control. In a HVX170 it’s under Other>control. Don’t know where it is in the 100.
Make sure you’re set to record P2 in the Firestore.
That’s all I can think of right now…

Has your Mojo ever worked with this configuration? I seem to remember at some point the analog version of the Mojo wasn’t supported?

Big thanks to Matthew! The regedit proved to be the ‘key’, pun intended!
Now, to learn the software!

[matthew bradshaw] “Is there a way to re-capture just one clip from a sequence?”
Yes – highlight that clip in the bin and select clip>batch capture
The only way I can think of is to shuttle the deck to the proper shot, then batch capture as described.
Very much a PITA, but the only thing I can come up with on 1 cup of coffee…

Make sure your NVidia driver is right – Avid has gotten better but can be really tricky if you don’t have the right combo of driver, quicktime and OS. I’m thinking your black window is a driver issue…

Open Quicktime, and see what version you are running. It should match what the readme recommends. It may not be your problem, but I’ve seen some relly weird things happen with the wrong QT version.
It’s also important to know what your system specs are: OS, memory, video card. It may not be related, but again, it’s good to rule out the basics.

[daniel jacobs] “Why does my effects window turn black?”
What are your system / QT specs?
[daniel jacobs] “How can I import a jpeg without it shrinking?”
Check your import settings – options in the import dialog box
