Problem with FCP4 and FC Studio & firewire

help! has anyone ever come across this problem?

was running fcp4 on a G4, no problems till recently when it wouldn't recognize my sony deck, since then i've tried several different firewire cables and two new panasonic cameras as decks, it still won't mount. it says "(missing) apple firewire ntsc (720 x 480) which is greyed out.

i re-installed the same version of fcp4, no good…
i installed fc studio, no good…

i've checked a/v settings. its greyed out
i've checked under video, external video, all frames… it won't change (it stays on off)
i've disconnected all external drives, no good…
i've changed firewire inputs, no good… and those inputs still recognize the external drives, so they work.

my mac is 733 MHz PowerPC G4, 512 MB SDRAM
running 10.4.2
QT 7.0.3

up until now everything worked fine, i haven't changed anything recently.

anybody have any suggestions?

Your Mac's Specs
1.33GHz 12" iBook; iMac G3 333Mhz; Use Dual 2Ghz PM G5's
What are you trying to use it for?
If it isn't working for logging & capturing, I don't know what to tell you.
If you are trying to put out from FCP>DV>VHS, or
if you are trying to get video out,
YOU NEED A TAPE IN THE DECK!

I figured this out accidentily after a month of confusion!

If this is not the problem, what model Sony deck are you using?
