I have a MacBook Pro with Final Cut Studio (FCP7) and I am attempting to log and capture from a JVC BR-DV3000, but it will not recognize. What settings should I be using?
Final Cut Pro 7
Are you using the "log & capture" window, or the "log & transfer" window?
If the deck isn't being recognized, check first in Apple System Profiler to see if the hardware is detected. (Upper left corner>About this Mac>More Info will get you there, then look at the FireWire connections.
The deck should show up as "Unknown Device" with Manufacturer: JVC in the detail. If it does not, then you have a cable or FireWire port issue. If it does show up, then the problem is in your capture setup.
There is nothing unusual or special about the deck, I set mine up using the default DV capture presets. If you're still not hooking up after the above drill, come back with your preset info.
Good luck!
