I've done this on my PD150 and now on an HVRA1U--with the same result. HELP!
I record in DVCAM mode (with miniDV tape--do I need special DVCAM tape???). When I load in the tape to my miniDV recorder to download to FCP6 (or FCX) the video shows on the screen and runs fine--but when I go to capture it only captures a few seconds and stops with some message about "timecode". The few seconds of video that does download looks fine, but has audio that is interrupted at regular intervals. I've tried downloading with several cameras--same result. Anyone have any idea how I'm screwing this up? Where am I going wrong? With tape, with FCP or FCX settings, or playback machine? Or all of the above?
