Is the camcorder in the VCR mode?

What SIZE/FORMAT are the images on the QT files?
You should pre-set and create a new blank FCP timeline for the kind of edit and output you need (I’m guessing DV NTSC).Then, edit the imported QT movie to that timeline
BUT…
Before you attempt to “play” the clip on the timeline, RENDER it.
Please post back with more info.

[boydmcc] “But clearly he had legitimate reasons for using the music, even though he did not have “permission” at the time he was editing.”
There is nothing “clear” about this.
There is no legitimate NEED to feature any song in a documentary that rates
ignoring the law. (The only freedom being trampled-on is the owner’s of the copyright.)There is no freedom to use and play copyrighted material in a production shown at a “film festival” without permission.
There are several different forms of copyright permissions, not the least of which applies to films and video… the “Synchronization rights” which involve editing a song into a new program presentation.It is also illegal to discuss methods of circumventing legal copy-guards.
Whether or not you personally believe these laws exist
or simply wish to invent your own set of rules,
it does not change the fact that you endanger other editors by giving out misinformation… and can even risk damage to the operators of these kind of forums when you discuss how to break the rules.It IS up to the posters here to provide legitimate information and stay within the law.

What is the “camera roll” column (do you mean “Reel”?) and how are you trying to “modify” it?

Are the latest tapes you’ve captured recorded in the shooting camcorder at 48 kHz or 32 kHz audio sampling?

Crop to desired size.
If you want to see the wipe come in, use the keyframes on the crop to “move” it as it plays.

This is what I found with Google.
Never used one.

[Ben Holmes] “Frankly, I prefer not to have someone sitting so close to me (in order to read the screen) that I can see how clean their ears are every time I turn around….”
Give them another computer monitor at the producer’s position.

[Paul] “its been running for 17hrs, with 23hrs left!”
[Paul] “I was wondering if this was normal.”
Well no, 40 hours to burn one DVD is not considered “normal”.
Why didn’t you render the FCP timeline?
You could have burned with iDVD and been done in about 3-4 hours.
(And made a 2nd copy in less than another 2 hours). -
If you simply don’t care about the TC (kind of dangerous thinking) switch to “Non-Controllable Device”, play the tape manually, and use Capture Now.
Better solution is to make a new copy of the errant tape.
Connect any two DV units (camcorders or decks) via FireWire and just make a new dub of the old tape to a new one.
The new copy will be “first-generation quality” but it will have a new continuous Timecode.
Then, just capture from the new copy.
Takes a bit more time this way, but having reliable TC can save you many problems in an edit situation.
