FCP doesn't see the deck! Ahh.

(Apologize that I'm re-posting this from the 'Output' forum which I realize doesn't get nearly as much traffic as this one.)

Hey guys,

Don't know if this is the right forum but...

Problem: The DSR-1800 doesn't see the footage coming out of FCP via Print to Video.

Setup: Using a friend's Sony DSR-1800 deck connected via FW to my dual G4 for layoff of mini-DV masters of a project just completed in FCP. I don't have a monitor hooked up to it but the DSR-1800 has no problem displaying recorded footage through the Log and Capture window. It appears that I can play footage but I can't layoff footage. The input setting is on "i.LINK" (which is blinking in the display). The i.LINK button on the right side is also lit.

EDIT: Under Audio/Video, my Device Control Preset is "Firewire NTSC". Could this be the problem? Should I change it to "DVCPRO HD 1080i50 Firewire," "DVCPRO HD Firewire", "Sony HDV 1080i50 Firewire," "Sony HD Firewire" or one of those? (The footage is standard DV).


Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Joshua

Have you tried "edit to tape" instead?

Also, just try to playback (ordinar) and record on the deck.

Don't do any of the non-DV setups for a DV deck...

Don't know what I did but it works now on Print to Video. Think it might've been a Playback option in Audio/Video settings. Thanks fellas.
