Hello all,
I have a new HV30 and have just logged my first tape, but when I select batch capture, nothing happens at all? Am I missing something?? The tape is actaully an old dv, but the capture settings are all good (I think) as FCP can see and log the footage...any hlpe much appreciated

Please give your full system specifications, what computer, what drives, what camera or deck, how everything's connected, what settings are on the media, what settings you're using in Final Cut, and finally what version of the software, of the OS, and of QuickTime are you using?
All the best,

Thanks for the detail. Any other drives or devices attached? Does the application recognize the camera at launch? Are you using FireWire Basic? You should be with a Canon camera.
All the best,

hmm, hv30 is plugged direct into a external HD, which is tneh firewire into the computer. Have just tried firewire basic, and nothing.
The computer sees the camera on startup and logging works perfectly?/ thanks for the prompt reply

Do you have more than one firewire input into the computer? It may be that you need separate firewire buses in order to capture. It sees the camera as the second device in the stream, but it's not capturing because the drive is the first device.
If you have the budget (and if the laptop has a PCMCIA or ExpressPC slot) consider getting a firewire card. They're not that expensive, and it may solve your problem.

you were bang on (or atleast I think). I plugged the cam direct into the firewire port, and it worked just fine. I know I have gone camera - external-computer before, but maybe that was on a machine this a seperate firewire port ?? unfortunately the macbook only has one firewire and no PCMI. SO I guess I will have to capture direct to the lappy, then most it across to the external. I should get any broken links if I copy the whole folder across ??
thanks for your help :)

Canon cameras do not work well when there is another device on the same bus.
