hi community. i need to ask you which programm is good for direct to disk recording.
until recently i was a pc user, and i used dv rack and later onlocation.
i know i could use bootcamp. but is there any mac only solution? i know also there is scopebox but that one is not supporting HDV :(
any input?
 
iMovie, FCE, FCP and QuickTime Pro will all record directly to hard drive from your camera (assuming you have a compatible Firewire capable camera). In FCE or FCP, you'll need to set "Device Control" to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now. I do this several times a year on multi-camera shoots taking a live feed from the switcher/DVE (through a DVCam VTR). Be sure to roll tapes in the cameara as backup.

ok cool, but do i need to have a tape inside?
and i saw also i can record from quicktime directly is that advisable?
i have final cut pro but just wondering if i need to open the big guy to just record!
