I Am using a canon vixia hv30 and Final Cut Pro 7. I got the footage to log with audio and video but there is a wide grey bar in the center of the window with small grey bars cutting the frame into 1/3s.
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
how does the footage look in the camera?

The footage looks great! i got the footage logged on final cut and i edited it completely without any problems other than every time i stop the video the grey bar appears and then when i playback the video the bars go away!
I'm not familiar with the camera, but can you check your camera settings and see if they match your easy setup in fcp. You can usually see your camera settings by activating the display function on the camera. Interested in particular with the frame rate. Not all formats are compatible with fcp.
Also, the audio file you have in your timeline is NOT a suitable format for fcp. This is a heavily compressed format and needs to be converted to a 48k 16 bit aiff before importing into fcp. Although fcp will allow you to import many kinds of files, often they are not suitable and will often cause problems down the road.
Also, what you're showing us here is the log and capture window. How does the video appear AFTER you've captured it?
This is the screen shot Of the canvas when the video is paused. Once I've pressed play it will resume as normal but as soon as i hit use they op up again along with the little green check mark. I used a quicktime conversion and it went to an MOV file and played fine using quicktime or preview but as soon as i try to load any file into DVD studio Pro it says file not compatible
I also check my cameras settings and it was set to shoot in just HDV nothing else and in the easy setup menu there is no option for just HDV is there a specific method you can recommend? Ive edited quite a few videos using this camera and i have not had any real issues such as this
some kinds of HDV are not compatible with fcp.
select a problem clip in the browser or sequence and hit command-9. What is the frame rate and what is the compressor?
Best workflow for fcp to dvdsp. Export as quicktime file (file: export: quicktime movie (NOT QUICKTIME CONVERSION). Take the resulting file into compressor and use the appropriate dvd preset to export a m2v (video) and ac3 (audio) file. Bring these files into dvdsp and drop onto a track. You should be good to go.
Why am I getting a grey bar on my capture window?
