Problem with downconverting
 
I shot some HD footage on the A1 with plans to downconvert to Premiere. I am trying to setup playback to do just so. I have studied the manual, but on the menu where I am to adjust Playback standard, and HD downcovert....both menu choices are greyed out, and I cant find a way to make them active.

I have been shooting nothing but DV until this project so this is new.

I know it is something simple....but then again so am I.

Any help would be appreciated, as I have three hours to digitize today.

Cheers
Syverson

Hi Mike,

Disconnect the camera from the computer and try again -- those options are often greyed out during an established connection. You have to make those settings first before connecting via FireWire. Hope this helps,

Are you in VCR/Play mode when you try it?
I'm fairly certain you need to be.

Thanks a bunch
 
You were right. The camera needs to be set to down convert prior to connection to the computer. I must have missed that somehow.

I appreciate the quick response.

Cheers
