Shooting and working on HDV I've used a Z1 with my FCP 5.0.4 on my G4, with enough ram etc. with no problems ... but this time I shot on a Sony F1 and tried to capture from that ... the log and capture showed device connected ... but it just wouldn't capture. The tape would get cued at the beginning of the shot ... but would not 'grip' the end ... it would roll on. Also I couldn't see picture on the log and capture - only black. However the time code kept moving in the log and capture window.
I've just got a hard disk replaced with a larger storage one ... other than that there had been no change in my computer ... Can someone help before I rent another HDV machine and waste my rental money ... My Quicktime is 7.0 ....
Looked in earlier LA Cafe stuff but couldn't find a solution ... maybe there should be a 'cafe search' ... to save scrolling the older messages ...
Thanks.
