Bummer. I already tried that. Picture turns to static. I’m gonna do a test tonight with something else shot DVCPRO50, but shot at 59.94. I’ll let you know. Thanks again. I know it has something to do with the 24p, I feel it in my gut!

No other firewire devices. I’m bringing it into my Macbook pro which currently only has one port. I’m also using Final Cut Express HD and I can’t seem to find a place to change my video/audio settings other than easy setup. I’m also an Avid person bumbling my way through FCP.
So to answer about advanced pulldown or 24p, not sure. How would I check in Express?

Thanks again for all the patience. If anyone needs any avid help, let me know!

Thanks for all the help! I am trying to capture SD. The issue isn’t the timecode, there aren’t any breaks. So unfortunately, it’s not a pre-roll issue. I wish it was that! I’d just dub the tape. The tape was shot SD, DVCPRO50, 24p. I know it has something to do with the frame rate, but with 600 settings in the HD1400, hmm? Do you have to have a Kona card to bring 24p into FCP?

Before I changed the HD1400 menu setting from HD to 422, I got a bunch of crazy lines. So with 422, I can see it and the 3 seconds it does capture is in sync. Sorry for the needle in the haystack. Any more help would be greatly appreciated!

I am also trying to capture from an HD1400 DVCPro deck from a tape that was shot 24P. In the menu I changed, 023 to 422 and 022 to manual. I see my image in the capture tool for FCP, but my capture aborts after 3 seconds with the error: Capture enountered a problem reading the data on your source tape., blah, blah. I know the tape is good. Any more menu settings to try and get this 24p out of this 1400 deck?
Thanks!
