Probably a stupid question but did you remember to switch your DSR-11 to NTSC (the switch on the back)?

Not so. Canon states that the “BNC connectors provide HD-SDI (SMPTE 292M) and SD-SDI (SMPTE 259M) uncompressed 1.485 gigabit/second output with 4:2:2 color sampling.” Hardly HDV specs.

Actually it’s not that simple. There are many files that need to be deinstalled. This site: https://homepage.mac.com/fearless/FileSharing32.html has a utility that deletes all the files. I’ve never used it, personally, but the Apple site that lists all the FCP 4 files to delete has been removed. Hope that helps…

Sorry, I misread your question – I though I read Final Cut Studio…it’s been a very long day…
I don’t know the exact answer to your question, though..sorry again.

Most compatible with what? What computer, how much RAM, what OS version, etc. are you running?

The requirements that approve your G4 for FCP 5.1.2 (via JeremyG’s link) make this a no-brainer, really. Just upgrade. You won’t look back.
Version 5.1.2 introduced some fairly impresssive improvements – it really should have been called 5.2…but I digress…go ahead and upgrade (but first make copies of your 5.1 project files so if want to go back to 5.1, you’ll have them and not blame me). Project files are NOT backward compatible, even between 5.1 and 5.1.2. But the 5.1 files should update just fine when you open them the first time. Hope that helps.pvw

Also, make sure that in the right-most of the three pulldown menus at the top of the Canvas window, it’s set to RGB, not Alpha.

You should be able to find a Sony DSR-11 for about $1600. They’re real workhorses and you can play AND record DV AND DVCAM regular cassette AND mini-dv’s in PAL AND NTSC.
What else could you ask?
