Hi, again, Chris,

Glad to see you're working with some current gear.  It will make your 
job easier, in the long and short run.

Re: Your capture problem:

What does your FCE Help tell you?

After you've checked the settings as you described below, can you 
capture?

If not, what happens if you go back to that preferences tab and select 
a drive or folder to use.

How big is your hard drive, and how much room is left on it after 
capturing what you've done, so far?  DV takes about 13GB for each hour 
of material.

I'm wondering whether you've run out of room.

In that case, an external FireWire drive is what you should be 
considering.  Store your video clips on the FW drive.

Hope this is of some help.

Ted.
