FCP settings to capture 60i at DVinfo.net

Ok guys, I shot in 60i and need to capture it in Final Cut Pro. What settings should I have FCP on? Please help!

Use easy set up and select HDV-1080i60.

Establish a new sequence in the timelime and make sure it is set to HDV-1080i60 as well and you're ready to go.

I did try the HDV Easy Setup...

I recently purchased an A1 & shot some footage on it yesterday. The camera is set to 1080i/60i with the down convert turned off (per manual instructions).

When I opened the project in FCP, I did the Easy Setup for HDV.

The capture was glitchy. I would capture "Clip" and half the time I would get a timecode error message. I would just try it again and usually it would begin capture.

No matter what I did, I only got video with no audio.

I tried all the settings on the camera & in FCP that I could to no avail.

I tried to customize my capture preferences too, but the HDV preferences are locked and the Edit & Duplicate buttons are greyed out.

And not only no audio, but the video shows up unrendered on the timeline.

Any ideas?
