Can't capture MT2 to my Mac
Now, I'm an idiot. So start with that knowledge.
I've tried both Virtual DVHS and DVHSCap and when I try and capture the resulting MT2 file is zero bytes. Anyone know what I'm missing here? Thanks! |
Just throwing something out that I had to search to find:
1) The camera has to be in VCR mode. 2) You need to press Play on the camera - DVHSCap doesn't controll it for you. Maybe that will help. |
Shutting everything down, camera, computer....and unplugging it sometimes helps. Restart everything and magically I bet it will work.
It's been my experience that 90% of the time.....reboot. |
I should have come back to this thread once I got it working.
Turns out the camera didn't like other firewire devices plugged in at the same time. I unplugged my external HDs and it worked fine. This is just for HDV capture, in DV I can have the drives plugged in. And I'm pretty sure DVHSCap did control my camera, thought I could be remembering wrong. |
All our capture & edit drives are all USB2.0. I think that's best until I get a Network capable of DV work.
I don't think Gigabit is fast enough. - ShannonRawls.com |
the old versions of firewireSDK have trouble recognizing the FX1-Z1 stream, try FirewireSDK19, it's much more stable and it recognizes it instantly.

By the way, a gigabit network (with a gigabit switch, hub or router of course:) works fine for digitizing on another computer's drive.
