Why can't capture from camera to MacBookPro Final Cut Express?

Well-known member
At work three of us have MacBookPro 15" new last March with
Final Cut Express. We capture from Panasonic DVC-30 (Mini-DV.)Now I'm
the only one who can capture. The people at the Apple store say
that everything is okay; it must be a setting or switch on the
camera.

Our Panasonic vendor says that there is no such switch or setting
and that the camera is okay. Have swapped out Firewires and
attempted to narrow down all variables. In between the camera
and
laptop we use a Belkin 6-Port Hub which checks out okay.

Under "Easy Setup" I have



Setup For: Custom Setup


Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 khz
Capture Preset DV NTSC 48 khz
Device Control Preset Firewire NTSC Basic
Playback output video: None
Playback output audio: Firewire DV
PTV Output video: same as playback
PTV Output audio: same as playback


Also can't print to tape and so must go through i-DVD, burn
a DVD and then dub that to tape for delivering on Mini-DV.

Does anybody have any idea what's up with this? THANKS!
