Cant capture HDV from canon xh-a1s into final cut express

I am trying to capture hdv in to final cut express 4. It never seems to recognize the camera except when capturing in dv. I was looking for any tips on capturing hdv.

I've had similar problems with my Canon XL-H1 and FCP and there seem to be many variables, but a couple things to check are: 1) in the camera menu, Playback Mode needs to be set to HDV NOT Auto, if it's on Auto, turn it off. 2) while you're in the menu make sure that HDV downconverting is also OFF. 3) use the HDV Firewire BASIC video setting. 4) unplug any unnecessary Firewire devices.

Let us know what works.
