Right - thanks. I've pretty much done all of this but I'll double-check. The irritiating thing is that PPro CS6 just instantly worked with no setup or adjustment!
With Best Wishes,

HDV VTRs are a little different, you can activate downconvert and get DV on the output even if HDV is recorded on the tape.

>5) Remember that most FireWire ports from VTRs or cameras are not hot pluggable! It's much more save to connect the FireWire cable first, the turn on the VTR, adjust settings, the power up the computer and then start your editing SW.

>6) If you're working with a Mac you can check in System Profiler under FireWire if the VTR is recognized!

>> I know it is SD but . . . The Panasonic AJ-D250 deck is natively DVCPRO but can play and record DV or DVCAM by setting a menu. In Media Composer 6.5 I can capture DVCPRO but no video or audio comes in at all when set to DVCAM or DV. Deck control is OK. We have a couple of these decks and lots of archive DVCAM to capture. Avid have detailed instructions on setting the menus but only DVCPRO works. OTOH, I get video out from the Timeline back to the deck, not problem.
