l am getting the same problem. when l open FCP 5.1.2 l get a message that no firewire device detected and a instant crash when l open log and capture. l am using QuickTime Pro 7.1.3 and have tryed capture through that but it also says it cant detect a deck or camera. So l also tryed to capture through iMovie and had no problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated or if the writer of the previous message solved her problem could let me know how – many thanks Peter Lewis
