i hear ya.
i did try a couple different firewire cables, and ports…then i tried it on different editors computers and it had the same problem…i’ll look at what the specific sony deck is and get back to ya,
good idea!!!about trying premiere, and thanks for the link…
okay, to add further detective mystery-ness to my situation i should mention this, just thought of it: i have imported it twice before and had success…it was using a friends JVC deck, once on his computer, and then once on my computer… i switched some settings on my FCP6 and when I re-opened my project all the files went wiggly, opened the files using quicktime player and they were still wiggly…transferred them to my external OWC Mercury Elite Pro drive and opened them on my Macbook with quicktime and they played solid and fine!!! What the heck…and when i opened the solid/good quicktime files with FCP6 on my Macbook they were all wiggly!
is it possible that only my friends JVC deck transfers the data for those tape properly…also, should i try using quicktime 7.3 and FCP 5.1.4, would that have any effect you think if premiere doesn’t work???
looking forward to hearing what you think.
