I just read an article that says FCP cannot address more than 2Gb. You can check the FCP system prefs to see how much of 2Gb FCP is assigned.

Thanks Gary. That’s good advice unless they decide to change the PCI spec again 🙂

Chris,
I ran into this problem with a client’s HD1 more than a year ago. It’s been a while, but I believe that within the setup menu there is an option for DV or HDV via the FireWire port. Check your manual. If this setting is incorrect the camcorder won’t communicate with FCP.Lee Berger

Perhaps you can take the problematic tapes to a local production facility and get them to run the tape through a TBC and record on DV. Good luck with your project.

Are these commercial tapes or your content? If commercial (such as
movies) the tapes may be encoded with Macrovision, a copy protection scheme that allows display on a TV or Monitor but confuses the recording circuitry. If you are not violating copyright you may need a Time Base Corrector.

Some of the dual VHS/DVD recorders have rudimentary timebase correction. One work flow may be to use one of these machines to dupe from VHS to DVD and then use a DVD ripper to convert to QuickTime.Lee Berger

I recommend Phil Hodgett’s excellent HD Survival Guide. It’s available in PDF format at

It’s fairly comprehensive and written in an engaging and entertaining style.Lee Berger

Look in the Capture Window, and the Clip Setting tab. In the audio selection area you’ll notice a rectangle with two circles. Click on it and two lines will connect both channels. This is the capture in stereo pair setting.
