Capturing 24p DVCPro 50 with FCP Academic - C'est possible?

Hello,

I've got a bunch of 24p DVCpro 50 footage to capture with the Panasonic 1200A deck via firewire (was shot on the SDX-900), and I'm getting the "encountered a problem... could be source tape... etc." error when I try to capture.

I did come across this post: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/926372#927091 and some other related threads, but I think I have all of my settings correct so I'm wondering what could be up.

The only possible reason I can come up with is that I'm using a machine that has the academic version of FCP 6.0.4 loaded (my regular machine is tied up with another project and I can't use it to test my theory), and perhaps it doesn't support DVCPro 50. Is that possible?

The deck is set to manual on 022, and 422 (#0002) on 023, as well as firewire on 600.

The DV50 Easy Setup settings don't solve the problem. The reason I'm thinking it might be the academic version is that I can capture fine using DV NTSC 48kHz. What do you think?

Thanks a lot,
Joni
