Ya it’s me.
To answer your questions, I did review p.77, that isn’t the problem (or the solution).
My set-up:
HXV200 (1080i/24p on P2 cards) to MacBook Pro. running FCP5.1.2 & QT 7.1.3. Installed the P2 driver.
P2 doesn’t mount on desktop or is listed in the FCP import P2 window. I can digitize this footage from this set-up.
