FCP capture question
 

In the past, I was able to play JVC HDV 720p30 tapes from a Sony HDV camera, and vice versa, plus I've been able to capture. With 6.0.2, I cannot; am I crazy or is there a work around?

Thanks,

Heath

That's interesting because unless I'm mistaken, the GOP structure between Sony and JVC is different.

I rarely see HDV timelines unless I'm helping out another editor but I beleive FCP6 does have specific capture presets for all 3 HDV flavors now, JVC, Canon and Sony. Check the online help in FCP along with the HDV Workflow white-papers available from Apple's site, that will answer these questions succinctly.

I'm experiencing different behaviors on master to tape function than before.
Apple must have changed the program in there.

Heath,

What Sony deck are you using? I've got a m10u and anytime I get a JVC HDV tape I've got to rent a JVC deck 'cause the m10u won't play it.

Capture? How were you doing that? The only way I can get any Sony HDV equipment to play back JVC HDV is through the analog outputs. Perhaps the HDMI does too?
