So I have my Sony Mini DV Camcorder, I plugged it in via firewire and opened up FCP and told it to capture, i see the image on my lcd screen on the camera but not n FCP. I tried the firewire port on the back of the comp, no luck.

iMovie see's it just fine...any idea? I was just editing on FCP a week ago. not sure if it was before installing Tiger or not.

To add to the weirdness, via FCP, when I bring the capture screen up, I can still stop the top on my Camcorder and forward it and play it. hell i see the time code in the corner rolling too, just no preview.

Had a big problem as well with a disappearing capture device. Believe it or not, try reinstalling Quicktime.
