Q: settings to import mini dv

I am trying to import an old mini dv tape into final cut 7.03 using a canon hv20 hdv1080i camera.  I have a firewire from the computer into the camera. I was hoping to bring it in converted to prores but I cant get it to work.

 

I am using "log and capture" and the only way I can get it to work is to have DEVICE CONTROL set on "non controlable device" and capture/input on dv ntsc 48. the image comes in letterboxed and squished and bad.

 

what am I doing wrong?

 

thanks!
