Gary:

Thanks so much. I will try your suggestions and see what happens. I will probably also shoot in 30p as well as 24, now that you mention it.

I am still kinda kicking myself for not getting the Mac Pro, but I can still use the iMac.

My dealer had warned me to turn off both the computer and the deck because of the very problem you mentioned, so I am very careful to do that.

Gary:

I just purchased an HD-110 and a BR-HD50 VTR. I have Final Cut Studio 2.0 and am having difficulty capturing video on my 24″ iMac (yeah, I know I need to get the Mac Pro but I am currently tapped out!).

Would you mind sharing your capture settings? Which codec, etc?

I can’t seem to control the deck via Firewire and I am sure there is something wrong with my settings.

I want to shoot in 720P 24 and also in SD when needed. As I am just starting, I am also open to your suggestions for shooting format.

Thanks
