You can download the Media100 codec and use this BUT I would suggest that you plan carefully and convert to something more friendly as time permits.
Media100 and FCP don’t get along real well. But it can work.

Two other things to consider…
One… ALWAYS stripe your tapes. HDV is a great format but timecode is weak on these machines without pre-striping your tapes first.
Two… Set FCP in the Preferences to Warn After Capture and this will stop your machine from constantly re-cuing and continuing.

That’s probably because your sequence is not set to the Animation codec. If your RT is set to Dynamic playback, it should play smoothly but at a reduced resolution.
What is your Sequence settings? And, do you have RT set to Dynamic?

Support for the V1U came with FCP 6. And that’s still a little questionable. There is still problems with 24p support in FCP6. But as for HDV in general, FCP 5 gave full support for this.

Tried it and it didn’t work.
Just had to recapture all of the clips in the bin and in the timeline. Gave me lots of duplicate files but its the only way it would work. Bummer!

I pretty much had to do this. But I needed the original bin, too, since this show is the entire show and last year was only a half a show.
Funny thing, though. Even though I can’t re-link these clips, if I make some of these clips offline, the clips in my bin also go offline even though I can’t re-link them in the timeline but I can delete the master clips in the bin from the timeline.

Here’s the scoop…
I did exact what I should and what Walter said. But, nothing seems to work. So, here it is again…
I have a new project that consists of footage used on another show. I copied the bin (offline footage) into my new project and batch captured it. Later, I went back to that old program and copied the two segments of the show that I wanted to re-use. Easy enough… I selected the footage to re-link, it finds it on the new volume using the same file names and nothing happens.
The Reconnect Files dialog shows everything is ok, no conflicts. When I click Ok,it should link the files, but it does nothing.

I think we are all guilty of this! I know without a doubt that I couldn’t have done my job as well as I can without the COW. It is the most valuable resource that we have!

Let me ask…
How much memory do you have in these systems? As I have stated many times before to many people, Mac Pro systems are totally different from G5’s when it comes to memory and memory requirements for FCP.
