Can't Capture in HDV only in DV.

[amillionfast]

I have a project that has to get done right away. I usually shoot on our HVX but our current client is giving us footage shot in HDV 1080i on the Sony HVR-V1U. I can't figure out for the life of me what I'm doing wrong but premiere is not capturing. It just gives me an "unknown recorder error."

But when I switch to quicktime setting instead of HDV and use my standard settings for capturing DV footage it will capture fine. Just not in HD which is what I need it in.

I'm using CS4 4.0.1. On a Mac Pro Quad Core. *8GBRam

Oh, I also tried capturing with iMovie and nothing there either.

You're capturing using the V1U?

 

[amillionfast]

Yes. Using the V1U to capture from. Is this normal for HDV? Encountering problems like this?

So any suggestions would be helpful.....

Your have to set the capture format from DV to HDV,
