As my thread topic suggests, I'm trying to skip a few importing steps. Instead of recording to tape, then importing into FCP, I prefer to capture direct from the camera and onto a hard drive using FCP. For DV, works great. But I just got an HD (high def.) camera and as soon as I switch FCP over to HD settings, it no longer lets me do a "live" capture.
My setup is a PBG4, 1.33, 2 GB ram, 10.4.8. I've got my Sony HDR-HC1 cam attached to the FW port. I've got a 400GB external drive attached to the FW800 port.
I've researched through countless pages on the net to no avail. Does anyone know how to pull this off?
Thanks so much in advance.
Franklin.
