Thanks to all who responded to this post. I will have to talk to the sound designers and see what can be done. The original sound designer told me that he would have to re-create the EDL by hand and it would take a week, but I believe that we are now using a larger sound house (universal i think) so they should be able to handle re-creating the six tracks from the diva based on the mono tracks we have been using to cut with.

I have used the Sony HVR-M25U and in the menu there should be a option for Auto along with HDV and DV. If it’s set to Auto it will know what format you are putting into it. Also I have not seen that warning before, but an ILink cable is an input connection so you need to see what is plugged into the back of the deck. I have always gone out from the deck to the G5 via Firewire 400 or 800. Hopefully you can check your connections as the ILink is sonys name for their firewire in most cases it is a 4pin connection and is used to go out from most sony cameras into a capture device or deck. Hope this helps.
