Trying to capture footage off a tape recorded by someone else on a Canon XHA1 into FCP 7.0.3 They brought the camera and tape in.
I followed the detailed directions in the post

FCP controls the tape in the camera, but all I see is black. Black on the viewfinder of the camera as the tape rolls and black in FCP capture window. If I hit CAPTURE NOW I get the error message:
No Data from Device
Capture was aborted due to lack of incoming data from device. Check your connections and that the deck is playing.
I followed the procedures in the above thread. Trashed FCP preferences. Restarted FCP. Rebooted. Still with the same outcome.
I tried different cables. I tried Firewire 400 and Firewire 800 connections.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
David
