hey guys,
wasted 3 hours now trying to figure out why this GD tape wont let me capture. i want only the audio (thats all we taped). i was told this was a slightly better miniDV tape and am wondering if there is some setting i am missing? its a miniDV TDK DVM60 SP/LP 60/90 ME. i am using a Canon XLH1 on FCP 6.0.2. I am quite vexed as i have never had trouble like this trying to capture either audio or video ...
i know its not the cable (tried 2 different ones). i tried literally every setting at least once in the drop-down. i unplugged external HD and reset scratch to internal (after initially pointing to ExHDs), tried all i could ... and still get the "unable to initialize..." error.
as luck would have it - i have an edit deadline for HQ tomorrow (see: smacking head against table) as per usual. if this could only happen when i'm doing home movies ...
any thoughts? thanks as always.
