I was asking about your capture settings. Tell me what version of FCE do you have? And, what version of mac OS are you running? You should see an Easy Setup for Sony 1080i HDV. Once you tell me the above info, i will tell you exactly how to get it set up. regards, sb On May 29, 2008, at 6:51 AM, CFlatow wrote: Alas, I can not and I don't know why. I can neither see or control the video in the FCE capture window, nor have I figured out how to get iMovie to show what's on the tape in the attached deck. Please tell me where to look or what menu items to select. Which settings are you asking about? Carl
