Rafael, thanks so much for your post. I have done as you’ve suggested and I still get the same issue. I’ve even switched Firewire cables. What’s puzzling is that I’ve captured some of these DV tapes before and I’m still getting that message. I just tried again before I wrote this and it goes through the same thing: after I hit “Capture Now” it plays for a second or less, stops, it says its is “searching for timecode breaks” while it goes back and forth frame by frame, and then, after preparing to cue and pre-roll, it displays “operation could not be completed as there is no video”. Still puzzled. I know it will eventually be found to be some tiny setting change made inadvertently.
