i am trying to get a video stream out of the hvx200 to onlocation on my pc but there is nothing coming out. I am shooting at 720p/30p and have set the 1394 control to "both". I dont know what i am overlooking...

does anyone know exactly what settings need to be changed???
thanks
 
Please disregard my previous call for help. It just so happen the hvx200 camcorder I was using was defective and of course it wouldn't work. It threw me out because everything else was working nice and dandy...things happen!
Is there anything new on the crossplatform issue, i.e., footage capture with OnLocation and edited with PP CS3 to make a movie that wouldn't work when taken to FCP? I haven't tried that yet myself because of the defective hvx. I'll posts my experiences when available. Thank you all.
 
Cross-Platform is a disaster. I've had no luck capturing on Adobe Onlocation/Win XP and then porting over to FCP Mac. I started a few threads about this on DVXUser and also went back and forth with Adobe, to no avail.

The Quicktime files created by OnLocation in Windows will cause your Mac FCP to crash. Sometimes you can import them into FCP but for any clips longer than ten minutes or so, there are crashing issues. You also can't export QT movies from FCP (longer than 8-10 mins) without running into similar freeze-ups or crashes.

If you are able to get it work cross-platform, post it here! I have been asking around and have yet to find anyone who can get it to work from Windows--> Mac.
 
things must have changed a bit. I'm running DVRACK on my macbook pro via bootcamp. I have successfully recorded Quicktimes and brought them into Final cut pro many many times. It has been my primary work flow. I did run into recording AVI's on accident and brought them into final cut and had no poblems...until recently when the avi files got corrupted somehow, but I don't think that is a final cut thing as it worked fine for about six months with the avi's on the timeline. I was able to retrieve them thankfully.
 
Were your Quicktime clips longer than ten minutes? I found that short clips worked fine but any clips much longer than 8-10 mins crashed the system.

Also, how do you use AVI files in Mac FCP? Do you first put it through some other program to convert it into something FCP can handle?
 
Okay, so cross platform is pretty useless, fair enough.

What if your clips won't open in Premiere Pro, either? I shot about six hours of footage (each file running between 1 - 4.8Gb) using the Quicktime codec. Now, FCP can't work with them (no big surprise), but neither can PPro. I get a "codec not found" (error paraphrase, there) message, then no import. Any advice?
