I'm trying to work some news footage into a documentary I'm working on. The news coverage is on both vhs and DVD. The DVD is just a regular DVDr I recorded the news onto on a burner. I am working with FCP, a deck, and a VCR/DVD player combined. The VCR/DVD has outputs. It has the standard video red,white, and yellow output. It also has a output section that says "DVD only" which has a a s-video out, a red and white line audio out, and a green video out and black digital audio out.

My deck has a red white and yellow video input, a s-video input, and outputs via firewire. And it has a toggle switch to choose between dv, s-video, and video.

All that being said! Although i haven't tried the s-video (because I don't have a cable) I can't get any of it to show up in my log and capture. Do I need to change settings or something? I'm editing on a 24pa timeline. Thanks

in your log and capture window. if you look at the top right side you see a menu iteam that says capture device or something like that. It will be set to fire wire. Click on that menu and go down to none controllable device. That should fix the problem
