No IEEE 1394 Playback from FCP to JVC BR-HD50
Ok here is my dilemma. I have just shot some footage with the new JVC GY-HD110 in HDV-720p30. I am then playing it back with the JVC BR-HD50 and capturing into Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 using my Power Mac G5's standard firewire connection. I am utilizing FCP's Easy Preset HDV-720p30. Everything captures like a dream, and everything is editing fine except I am unable to playback video from the FCP timeline or clips trough firewire and back into the HD50.
What is odd is if you look at the Audio/Video Settings it has the HDV (1280x720) 30p as a video output option but it is greyed out, I can't select it. I know I have the deck set correctly (set to HDV) because if I do a Print to Tape it goes out through firewire and into the deck without a problem. Its just that FCP will not playback from the timeline and out through firewire. Interestingly enough, if you select any of the HDV presets, you'll see it always has Playback Output Video: None. And there is no way to change it. I've also tried connecting the GY-HD110 to the system with the same results. I have tried all the presets and all the Device Control Presets to no avail.
Consequently, if I have the HDV-720p30 project open and have the video output set to DV-NTSC and the deck to DV I get poorly down-converted still images of the HDV footage, but no moving video. By the way, my output monitor is 4:3 SD monitor, the deck down-converts the footage straight from the tape perfectly.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
