Hello,
I recently got a new iMac 21.5" and have been trying to use Final Cut Pro 6 to capture some video from a Canon HV20 using the FW400/FW800 cable. However, every time I plug the camcorder in, the new iMac (OSX 10.6) is unable to recognize the camera nor does the camera display that HDV/DV is connected. I then took it to my other mac (Running OSX 10.5) that has a FW400 port, set FCP to the same settings as the iMac, and everything worked fine: connection display, FCP recognition, and able to start capturing.
I'm using a FW400/FW800 cable for the iMac and it's a cable I bought from Fry's Electronics, made by "SIIG". When I simply plug the camera into the iMac, there is no recognition at all even through the System Profile. Could it be possible that the Firewire is defective or is it a problem with the FW800 port/motherboard?
Thanks!
