Can't capture from my JVC GY HD100

John,
in my IDX-battery attachment, there is a fuse compartment on the lower left side (viewing from the back of the camera), and above that there is a spare fuse compartment.

Well I MUST be doing somethign wrong! bundled AVID Liquid 7.1 came with camera so in theory it should work!

So far total number of frames captured in HD is 0!!! Other people seem to be able to capture but not me!!

Cam in VTR mode before turnign on computer let alone loading AVID

I CANNOT find a recorder tab under the site menu. I have - Plug in settings, Medea Management, Codec presets, FX Editor, System Settings and Player settings!

I managed to capture some very very jerky footage with Premier Pro 2 that was unusable

so How on earth do I capture footage in AVID?

PC is:
AMD 3500+
6800GS gfx card
2GB Ram
160GB
XP home OS

Stumped with expensive unuseable HD Cam!!!!

Go to the Liquid forum and ask your question:
http://avid.com/exchange/forums/54/ShowForum.aspx

If anybody can help you, these people can.

The first thing you might hear is that you need an Intel processor and an ATI graphics card. However, this isn't true.

Post at the forum -- being sure to include the specs of your system -- and someone will give you the info you need.

Liquid often needs a complete resinstall of the operating system, etc. etc. etc. to get it to work, but the people on the Liquid forum are the ones who can best help. To run Liquid it takes dozens and dozens of hours of experience, at minimum, but you can cut through some of this by using others' experience on the forum.

It is possible your system won't completely support Liquid... it's kind of tricky, but the people on the forum will be able to tell you.

This should get you going and started on the road to HD.

Many thanks :) Yes your video helped I can now capture :) Sorry for the delay in getting back.

All I need to get sorted is why I get blocky dropouts, not the odd pixel but large blocks dropping out occasionally. The data on tape plays back without dropouts on my HD LCD panel through the YUV though without dropout, just wobbly video.

I read on another forum that this could be down to Windows SP2 upgrade setting the IEEE1394 speed down to 100, but I installed SP2 as a fresh install, not an upgrade. It may also be a fragmented drive that I tried it on.

I ran the Microsoft fix for the firewire speed, and I have also installed a fresh out of the box 250Gb hard drive so there should be no issues with defragging. I have yet to see if that worked.

In fact I am gonna try these two fixes now and see if that worked ;) will report back ;)

Cheers n beers
